I'm now running this branch, and good news: No breakages so far.  :-)

Yes, that was the main bit I was unsure of.  The braiding stuff tries to
be efficient and avoid parsing things twice (or more) -- you usually get
a bunch of headers from the NNTP server, and then you have even more
headers in the agent/cache, and it stitches them all together as text,
and parses the resulting mess.  (If I remember correctly; it's been at
least a decade since I looked at that code.)

Are headers parsed more than once now and then merged?
