I agree.  Thanks for your explanations.

Maybe it would make sense to add a new variable specifying the headers
used for commands like `gnus-article-browse-html-article' and
`gnus-summary-print-article' (do we have other, comparable commands)?
We should also bind `gnus-treat-date-lapsed' to nil for those, I
think.

The new variable (say `gnus-brief-headers'?) could have the following
values:

- (list of) regexp(s):

  Show specified headers.  The variable should be initialized from
  `gnus-saved-headers'.  The purpose seems similar.  Its default value
  is gnus-visible-headers.

  Maybe some headers present (and useful) in `gnus-visible-headers'
  should be removed from the default of `gnus-saved-headers' or only
  from the new variable, e.g. Gnus-Warning, X-Sent,
  (Mail-)?Followup-To, ...

- The symbol `current':

  Use the currently visible headers (like `gnus-summary-print-article'
  does it now)

- nil:

  Use `gnus-saved-headers'.

- t (or ...?):

  Use your implementation (but with `gnus-saved-headers'?).  (Does
  providing this still make sense if we have a dedicated variable?)

Opinions?

Late?  Less than one day?  :-)

Bye, Reiner.
