Without commenting on the way it was implemented in GNUS, I would like to say that a "trend ... for newsreaders to calculate a Lines: field automatically ..." is not a good reason for GNUS to not include it. GNUS, as its own newsreader, would have to do a lot of extra work to come up with those numbers for the *Subject* buffer. It is much simpler to have the number right there in the header. This is in fact the very point some of us having been trying to argue with Henry & Geoff from the start.
