If one uses continuation lines, headers can be much larger. (Or that at least is my understanding.) Keep in mind that the version of Gnus that I'm using still wraps References using continuation lines; I think Lars took that out at some point? It sounds like either the header wrapping code needs to be put back in or Gnus needs to shorten the Reference headers it generates, in the short term. In the long term, I expect the new news RFC to require References headers not be truncated. > This is something Gravity does, and in general a good idea. It migth > make less sense for Gnus.

I still don't think this idea makes any sense. But YMMV. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
