INN automatically inserts a Line: field, so GNUS shouldn't have to on INN
sites. Also, the recent trend is for newsreaders to calculate a Lines: field
automatically for articles lacking a Line: field, so there's less of a reason
for GNUS to insert a Lines: field even if C News is the underlying news
transport system. Here is a patch that makes the insertion of a Lines: field
a separately configurable entity, so that users can more easily adjust to
local conditions.

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.
