Right, it's not in the CVS. The "cvs log" shows that it's not tagged
for 5.8.3 at least.

: 1 neotron@tezcatlipoca cvs status mailheader.el
gnus/lisp/
===================================================================
File: no file mailheader.el             Status: Up-to-date
   Working revision:    No entry for mailheader.el
   Repository revision: 5.3
   /usr/local/cvsroot/gnus/lisp/Attic/mailheader.el,v

Ie the file _was_ deleted. Question is why and if it was on
purpose. :) Seems weird since it's still used and needed.
