It gets all headers. There's no easy way (at least that I've ever heard
of) in the NNTP protocol for a reader to say "I've got these headers,
what have you got?"
If there's a "get specified header" then the client could perform such
a task iteratively by looking at what it has.
Yeah, but then there would be a million tasks because the client has to
check for _every_ part of every message with
a NNTP request.
