I do this with procmail and a perl script which adds an 'X-Blurb' header to all my incoming mail. Then add X-Blurb to gnus' interesting headers variables so that it's included in the .overview file (i'm using nnml). I'm sure there's a hook that I could have used, now that I think about it more. It might be nicer if gnus actually added the header or entry in the .overview file. My perl script ignores mime messages since it doesn't decode it, gnus might actually be able to extract the first line from inside those messages. jason
