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

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
