Collecting the names of all the headers in either email, sorting
them and feeding them to hdr_order is as time-consuming as the
shell hackery I'm doing now and it's more error-prone.
Now, if hdr_order was able to intepret lack of an argument as
"sort everything in alphabetical order"... Or perhaps a trailing
"*" as "sort any other headers in alphabetical order"...
Incidentally, hdr_order seems to be inoperative on my
installation, but I'll worry about that if/when I have use for it.
Thanks for trying to help. :-)
