Looking at all of the responses so far, I don't see any original headers as part of the reply.  I wonder if it is because noone wants them or because they are not provided by the MUA.

Assuming it is the former, would it not make more sense to make that as the default? It is always possible to copy whatever headers that are deemed necessary, but I suspect that isn't a very common operation.

If all headers are provided as default, it just increases the effort needed to trim it down and I am sure not everybody is interested in the full headers of the original message.
