The Linux mail programs I have used (other than the primitive standby, 
mail, which always shows all headers) all have an option to let you see 
all the headers. I haven't used any Linux mail program that does 
anything special with the headers, beyond letting you read them.

In Mozilla (or Netscape 6), you go to the View menu, choose Headers, and 
then choose All.

Netscape 4.7 has the same menu as Mozilla.

KMail has a similar command in its View menu, but it's a simple All 
Headers choice in the View menu rather than a submenu.

Pine can display full headers with the H command, but first you have to 
enable that command in the Setup menu.
