RFE: d/l only the header

[Sam Steingold <sds@gnu.org>]

When reading mailing lists on gmane, I use this to mark spam:

(defun sds-gmane-url (type)
  (concat "http://" type ".gmane.org/"
          (if (string-match ":\\([^:]*\\)$" gnus-newsgroup-name)
              (match-string 1 gnus-newsgroup-name)
              gnus-newsgroup-name)
          ":" (number-to-string (mail-header-number
                                 gnus-current-headers))))

(defun sds-gmane-article ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((url (sds-gmane-url "article")) (x-select-enable-clipboard t))
    (kill-new url)
    (message "Gmane: %s" url)))

(defun sds-gmane-spam () (interactive) (browse-url (sds-gmane-url "spam")))

Very often I know the article is spam just by looking at the sender and
subject, but the above code only works if I download the whole article
(which may be 1,000+ lines long!)

Is there a way to request just the header?
