Perhaps headers should be sent just like headers in HTTP so that the app can
select how to deal with them (or not)?

There's but one problem with that I think. We (ab)use the headers concept in
IMAP just like with FTP (iirc) to pass on server responses to client commands,
and if we want to provide headers for mails as headers, we need to decide how
we really want to do it...
