Hello Simon,

Yes, the headers are downloaded (agent mode). I forged another place,
which worked:

in ".newsrc.eld" i changed in gnus-newsrc-alist

,----
| ... de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde" 3 nil           nil
`----

to

,----
| ... de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde" 3 ((1 . 18308)) nil
`----

The second number (18308) is the first number from the corresponding
line in the "active" file, in my case
"~/News/agent/nntp/News.CIS.DFN.DE/agent.lib/active":

,----
| de.comp.os.unix.apps.kde 18308 18308 y
`----

As you see in the line before, i first tried setting the second number
equal to the first one, but this didn't work.

Best regards,
cu, -cc-
