I think completely ignoring them is not the right thing. Suppose I
get a message which looks bogus when shown by Gnus. I might then
assume that it really *is* bogus. But maybe just the headers are
bogus, and with some manual effort, the message itself can be
salvaged. Therefore I propose that at least a message be output
telling the user that Gnus is (otherwise) ignoring the bogus Frumple
header.
