there are some older news readers (like pine) that use a series
of HEAD commands for getting the group overview (probably because
XOVER was not available everywhere).

That is why I did not count articles as interesting or to be marked
for download when a HEAD command is received, but only when an
ARTICLE or BODY command comes.
