That's not quite true. `b' will (would) hide only the body. If the
header is visible `b' will not hide it.

The internal mechanism is distinct because it does a different
thing. The original code drew a distinction between header visibility,
body visibility and message-as-a-whole visibility. I agree that visually
there is no difference between 'header and body hidden' and 'message
hidden'. It's possible to have only the header visible, which I've yet
to find a use for. The code works as I intended, though I'd agree that
may not be the desired behaviour :-)

Given that I've never used `b' other than in testing, I'm not worried
about it going away.
