A) That's because you're using a web browser instead of a news reader.
B) Those aren't headers.  Even if you turn off headers, the useless MIME
   crap shows up.  MIME is okay in binaries groups, because we expect it
   there, but it is out of place in a text-only group.  

I'm usually happy to just ignore it, but when people are wrong and then 
get belligerent about their right to be wrong rather than solving the 
problem, it starts to bother me.
