2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	70 * In online mode, retrieve full article header from remote server if client
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	71 sends a HEAD command. Presently, only the header lines from the overview
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	72 are returned and the article is only retrieved on an ARTICLE or BODY command.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	73 The reason for this was that some readers (like pine) retrieve the group
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	74 overview by sending lots of HEAD commands and their performance would badly
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	75 suffer. On the other hand, some readers (like slrn) cache the header from
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	76 a HEAD command, even if a following ARTICLE command gets more header lines,
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	77 so that not all header lines are available when reading news in online mode,
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	78 before the next start of the reader. But some header lines (e.g. Reply-To)
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	79 are important.
2467ff423c15 [svn] * AUTHORS.html, CHANGELOG.html, COPYING.html, README.html, FAQ.html, uh1763 parents: diff changeset	80 Maybe make the behaviour configurable.
