Also, are there useful other header fields that news readers are already
searching for in their (X)OVER requests and then would benefit from them
if present in the overview?  The idea would then be to suggest to news
admins adding such fields in their overview data.
Like Newsgroups to know whether the article is crossposted?  (Some news
servers already provide the Xref header field, but one cannot take for
sure that an article is crossposted with that mere field.)

Newsgroups would be nice to have for scoring.

Currently the OVER command must be disabled for this to work in flnews.
Quoted from man page:
|
| o  nntp_no_over (Integer) Disable usage of overview (OVER command) for
|    NNTP protocol
|
|    Setting this to a nonzero value disables usage of overview and makes
|    the whole newsgroup list usable for scoring rules.
