Rated 4 out of 5 stars

As mentioned below, I have a simple hack that enables this for TB 3.0.

To get a copy of rev 0.7.1 with the hack, go to:

I rate this 4 stars -- I'd love to see this built into Thunderbird itself.

Usage note: look for "Change Header Details" in the Message pulldown menu from the main toolbar.
