    Hm, I only have them in my News folder, all corresponding to some nntp
    group:
    
    News/agent/nntp/Eclipse/eclipse/platform/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Eclipse/eclipse/tools/emf/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Gmane/gmane/comp/gcc/devel/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Gmane/gmane/comp/gnome/announce/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Gmane/gmane/comp/gnome/apps/evince/general/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Gmane/gmane/comp/gnome/desktop/.overview
    [...]
    News/agent/nntp/Uni/infko/linux/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Uni/infko/mac/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Uni/infko/oopm/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Uni/infko/programmierung/.overview
    News/agent/nntp/Uni/infko/softtech/.overview
    
    Are your nntp servers agentized?

That's the problem! Sorry, I should have read the Agent Basics section
of the manual -- it says there that no servers are agentized by default,
so I've just added my nntp server, and I'll try putting
`gnus-fetch-old-headers' back to 'some.

It seems a little odd to say at the top that the agent is on by default,
but not mention until later that it doesn't actually *do* anything by
default.

Anyhow, that's sorted, thank you. Sorry for the overly-basic query.

Eric
