I can see that other mail user software also displays headers in particular order, like in Mutt, I see 1) Date, 2) From, 3) To, 4) Cc, 5) Bcc, 6) Subject always in the same order. Consistent order of those most important header fields is user interface accessibility issue. IMHO, RMail should display basic headers in consistent order. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
