I'm not sure what information is known by Gnus at that moment.  In the
summary, internally each article is identified with a number.  This
should be more or less (car (gnus-summary-work-articles 1)).

One could try to find information using that article number, e.g.

  (gnus-summary-article-header
    (car (gnus-summary-work-articles 1)))

will return an object containing the most important header data.  Try
with M-:.

Not sure what else Gnus knows, maybe you will have to fetch the header
for that article from the server.  Depends on what information you need,
and in what situations.  But I could also only try to find the relevant
functions in the source code (see "gnus-sum.el").


Michael.
