A quick way to view the spam headers of an article from the summary buffer?

A quick way to view the spam headers of an article from the summary buffer?

[Steinar Bang]

When I see an obvious spam message that has survived SpamAssassin I
sometimes(*) do a 'C-u g' to watch the article with all headers and raw
undecoded MIME structure(**).

What I would have liked to have is a summary command that just shows me
the spam headers in the article buffer (or a buffer that is in the same
place in the emacs layout as the article buffer).

Does anyone else have a command that does this? Is there something
built-in to gnus that I have overlooked?

The headers I'm interested in, are:
 X-Spam-Status
 X-Spam-Level
 X-Spam-Checker-Version

The X-Spam-Status header is the most important one.

Thanks!

(**) I don't want a potential bug in the HTML rendering triggering
     an HTML request (I have configured it so that it shouldn't, but as I
     said, bugs...)

The two easiest (built-in) ways to do this would be to use "t" to toggle
header display -- that will show all the headers, which is probably more
than you want. The other would be concatting "X-Spam-*\\|" to the value
of `gnus-visible-headers'. That would make the spam headers always
visible, though. Maybe just add "X-Spam-Status" to the visible headers,
and use "t" to see the others when you need to?

Yes, but both of these would require actually viewing the article,
wouldn't they?

What I'm looking for/thinking of, is a command that quickly displays the
headers, but without actually displaying the article.

Oh, no, you'd have to write your own elisp to do that -- perhaps
someone's written that function, but not that I'm aware of.

Right, that's what I figured.  But I thought I should ask before doing
so. :-)

Thanks!
