I don't have a client, I have a downloader program which dumps the articles as
files for me to view later using an editor of my choice - which won't be
parsing
any header lines.

A home-made cobbled-together excuse for a client. Self-inflicted injury.

A home-made cobbled together excuse which I doubt you could write and which
allows me to search hundreds of articles from dozens of groups in milliseconds
using regular expressions via the unix command line and filter out the crap
and the good stuff in a far more complex way than any reader program can manage.

Apart from falling on the floor the moment anyone uses a specified 8-bit
character set.
