this was on my list of small annoyances for a long time

i've just added:

    ("^Thread-Topic:" nil)
    ("^Thread-Index:" nil)
    ("^Received-SPF:" nil)

which really cleans up my headers from some mailing lists.

is there a reason to not have everything default to nil and only show
the headers that are selected as t ?
