Not needed. Your report about lack of newsgroup headers matches what i
see from Andrei's mails about topics in which i had more interest than
in audio playback.
The problem is not in the original mail by Andrei but in the way how
Rodolfo's Gnus+Emacs perceived it.

Googling shows rumors from 2016 that their web service was going down.
But
  http://home.gmane.org/
looks like a revival attempt from that time. Wikipedia says it did not work
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane
German wikipedia states
  "Seit Ende März 2019 war die Website von Gmane nicht erreichbar."
 = Since end of march 2019 the website of Gmane was not reachable.
A typical case of Your Mileage May Vary.

There remains the riddle how it can sabotage Rodolfo's Gnus+Emacs and
how it still can leave fingerprints on Curt's mails.


Have a nice day :)
