With 1.8b,  you can add  "Notebook-Headers= FULL". This function  is also
available in the VMS/unix/NT versions.

There's  no advantage  or disadvantage,  it's just  a matter  of personal
taste. FULL headers are compatible with the current default headers, they
just have more information. IETF headers are not compatible and likely to
confuse non-technical users.

A  name had  to be  chosen, and  most of  the people  lobbying for  these
headers were also quite vocal on the IETF list.
