;; are, in a way, but you should note that the indices they use have
;; been changed from the internal GNUS format to the NOV format.  The
;; makes it possible to read headers from XOVER much faster.

;; The format of a header is now:
;; [number subject from date id references chars lines xref extra]
;;
;; (That next-to-last entry is defined as "misc" in the NOV format,
;; but Gnus uses it for xrefs.)
