;;; Commentary:

;; These macros may look very much like the ones in GNUS 4.1.  They
;; are, in a way, but you should note that the indices they use have
;; been changed from the internal GNUS format to the NOV format.  The
;; makes it possible to read headers from XOVER much faster.
;;
;; The format of a header is now:
;; [number subject from date id references chars lines xref]
;;
;; (That last entry is defined as "misc" in the NOV format, but Gnus
;; uses it for xrefs.)

;;; Code:

(require 'mail-utils)

(defvar nnheader-max-head-length 4096
  "*Max length of the head of articles.")

(defvar nnheader-head-chop-length 2048
  "*Length of each read operation when trying to fetch HEAD headers.")

(defvar nnheader-file-name-translation-alist nil
  "*Alist that says how to translate characters in file names.
For instance, if \":\" is illegal as a file character in file names
on your system, you could say something like:

\(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist '((?: . ?_)))")
