But the original pre-mbox Rmail would always yank the full headers
when you did that after expanding the headers with
rmail-toggle-header.  And I find that very convenient, because
sometimes I do need to cite all the headers of a message.  An
important case in point is when I'm talking to some sysadmin about a
problem in mail transport and want to show them a message as evidence.

This goes both ways: you could as easily delete them after they are
copied.

Obviously, the bug should be fixed, but please do not kill the feature
whereby C-c C-y copies the full headers.
