Yep. Turning off threading makes Mahogany more usable, as it then only
downloads headers on demand. I suspect that it does this using the HEAD command
for each article instead of just using XOVER. Which is strange, as XOVER seems
to be implemented in the sources.

I'll try to take a look at it as soon as I finally manage to build wxWindows
and Mahogany from CVS. The latest wxWindows CVS is broken, so my box is
currently compiling the latest snapshot.
