If the second parameter \var{qs} is non-zero, then the header will be retrieved from the server if it is not in the current list of headers. The function returns \var{1} if an appropriate header was found, or \var{0} otherwise. \example One possible use of this function is to mark the current position in the header list and return to that position later, e.g., #v+ % Save the current position variable msgid = extract_article_header ("Message-Id"); . . % Return to previous position.

One may interactively toggle between the formats via the \var{toggle_header_formats} keybinding. The generic format specifier begins with the \exmp{%} character and must be of the form: #v+ %[-][w]x #v- where the brackets indicate optional items. Here, \em{w} is a width specifier consisting of one or more digits. If the minus sign (-) is present, the item will be right justified, otherwise it will be left justified. The item specifier \em{x} is required and, depending on it value, has the following meaning: #v+ s : subject S : score r : author real name f : from header G : Group lens score l : Number of lines n : server number d : date t : thread tree F : flags (read/unread, `*' and `#' tags, header number) % : percent character g : goto a specified column #v- Thus, \exmp{"%F%-5l:%t%s"} indicates that the header window will contain the, in order: the flags, the number of lines the article contains right justified in a 5 character field, a `:', the tree, and the subject. The \var{g} format specifier must be preceeded by a number that indicates the next write should take place at the specified column. If the column number is negative, then the column is interpreted as an offset from the right side of the display. For example, \exmp{%-24g%f} indicates that then \em{From} header is to be written out 24 columns from the right edge of the window. \seealso{set_visible_headers} \done \function{set_header_flags} \synopsis{-} \usage{Void set_header_flags (Integer flags)} \description This function may be used to set the flags associated with the currently selected header.
