Why does this SPAM screw up nnml?

Hello,

Could someone please tell me why this SPAM screws up nnml's NOV
system? 

I had to remove it from the group and rebuild my NOV files. While it
had an entry in my NOV file I was unable to access items in the group
that occurred before this message (I couldn't access this message
either).

The backtrace is below followed by the SPAM.


Gnus v5.5 emacs-MBSK-20.2
Gnus v5.5 XEmacs 20.3

The problem occurs no matter which system Gnus is compiled for.

Thanks.

Because nnheader did the wrong thing with Message-ID's like this.
This has been fixed in Quassia Gnus.
