I just saw this message flash by:

  `Cc' isn't present in `nnmail-extra-headers'

which is mysterious enough as it is, and should be more descriptive.
Why would I care that `Cc' isn't present in `nnmail-extra-headers'?  Why
would Gnus care?

Near as I can tell by trolling through the info manual, this variable
has something to do with making information available to summary line
display, but if that's the case, it's hardly obvious from its docstring,
which is simply "Extra headers to parse."  Parse when?  For what purpose?
