Er, could it be that you misunderstand?

You are talking about "emails sent" and "sent emails" without 
qualification, so you clearly mean *all* sent messages.  And you 
clearly think that display choices that you make in your mail client 
can cause the headers of messages you send somehow to travel with 
their headers inherently displayed.  That can't be so - can it? - or 
you wouldn't be able to make the choices you do with your received messages.

As the previous correspondent said, this setting in your mail client 
does not influence the headers of sent messages in any way.  It may 
be, of course, that the current state of display in your mail client 
will affect what text is included in the body of any message prepared 
by you as a reply or forward of a received message.  But that is 
somewhat irrelevant: as a courteous e-mail user, you would edit any 
such imported text to include only what you specifically needed to 
send, wouldn't you?  The new message you are preparing will have its 
own headers when it is sent (and accumulated as it progresses to its 
destination); how these are displayed or suppressed in the 
recipient's mail client is under their control, not yours.

In any case, the material included in the body (not headers) of any 
reply or forward would surely be governed by your display setting at 
the time the message was prepared, not when it was sent.

But this is all rather off-topic ...
