Thanks for the correction.  I don't know why I didn't find it last
time.

Scoring on head is quite slow compared to XOVER.  It'd be preferable

I guess it depends on the server configuration.  My leafnode2 has it:

LIST overview.fmt
215 information follows
Subject:

Message-ID:
References:

Lines:
Xref:full

Bye, Reiner.
