You misunderstand, i've looked at it now, the current logic is to use the NOV
data except when it's the current article in which case Gnus looks for the
actual fields. Going back to the original source makes sense for most
situations in which the NOV data is actually generated based on real
references headers.

What i'm asking for is for Gnus to fall back on the NOV data if it exists and
the real headers don't work. i've looked at the source and it should be small
change and it won't affect normal cases where the actual headers are valid.
