You now propose to expand everything on one click and smash a shitload of options into a dummy user's face who just wants to add a CC line. That's a regression and not an optimization to me.
I agree with Thomas. Users who want to add a CC or BCC should not be bothered with every possible header field. I mean, how many users do use Followup-To on a regular basis? I like the old design better.
As a side note, the two-step header expansion in message (pre)view isn't perfect either. I was confused by the up/down arrows appearing when I expanded the headers in message preview. Showing all headers is again a very power-user feature and should not use the same element as to just show the regular headers. And there's no way to hide them anymore. Furthermore, I don't exactly understand why in full message view mode the headers are collapsed by default. There we have enough space and all basic headers should be show right away. The reason to hide them in preview mode was because they're redundant to what is displayed in the message list above and vertical space is limited.
I figure that Reply-To can be an useful addition to the headers shown in the message preview; as users may reply directly from the message preview pane without opening the full message. When the Reply-to is displayed in the message preview pane, an user can already see that his reply will be sent to another e-mail address.
