There's no easy way (at least that I've ever heard of) in the NNTP protocol for a reader to say "I've got these headers, what have you got?"If there's a "get specified header" then the client could perform such a task iteratively by looking at what it has.Yeah, but then there would be a million tasks because the client has to check for _every_ part of every message with a NNTP request.
