I believe this is something Benny broke somewhere around r5900 with a 
rework of message rendering. There's a "Show headers" command in the 
Format menu but it is always dimmed.

There's a file at 
/Applications/MailMate.app/Contents//Resources/Layouts/headersFormatting.plist 
which seems to control the reading pane headers, but the  details of its 
use and grammar are not documented. You MAY be able to override that 
with a file of the same name in ~/Library/Application 
Support/MailMate/Resources/Layouts/ but that is only true if that 
original .plist is still used and is overridable. Some years ago I tried 
using that and never quite figured out the right incantations.
