It makes sense that it wouldn't be.  I know the exotic ones aren't, only 
basically what a standard header pane shows, the ones needed to identify the 
message in human terms, just as the msg-id and server group message sequence 
number identify it in machine terms, but I just hadn't thought about it b4 
(and haven't had occasion to get THAT intimately familiar with it).

I was under the impression, however, that some news daemon software is 
configurable in that regard, however, and that some servers DO send such 
headers, if they've been configured to do so..  IOW, I thought it was 
optional, altho it would be rare, and some daemon software wouldn't include 
the option.  True, or are the x-over headers set in stone?  Maybe I'm getting 
mixed up with another optional request?  As I said, I haven't had occasion to 
get THAT into it, and what I know has been picked up from news and now this 
list, comments.
