 From a development/Horde/IMP implementation standpoint, definitely not 
a) or b).
  However c) might be an option worth pursuing - allowing a user to 
identify the
Headers that they would like to view by default.  So that would appear to be
the best way to tackle this problem (patches would be great!)

Just an implementation note - this should not specifically be tied to
'X-Headers'.  Rather, the user should be allowed to identify *any* header
outside of the "standard" ones displayed (i.e. 'Organization', 'Return-Path')
rather than simply limiting to X-Headers.
