Hi !
When an article is accepted and saved on an nnml server, the Xref header is
created with the result of (system-name), followed by "group:number".
What's the purpose of the system name, and what happens if for instance,
you're running Gnus once on another machine, with your nnml directories
mounted by NFS ??
Thanks.

It's a purely informational part of the protocol, required for
compatibility with other Xref headers but ignored completely by everything
other than the human eye.
