I've now tried to make this work in the Windows 3.9.1git2 version, I
can't see the headers I've added in the drop down lists for either News
account folder processing or indeed for adding a user-defined
header in an email account.

One thing I notice is that the dialog box doesn't work if it overlays
the account properties dialog, it has to overlay the edit account
dialog. If I click the Edit... button in the account properties it
opens behind all the other windows and if I bring it in focus with
alt-tab then any click causes it to drop back again unless it is
positioned over the account selection dialog.

I have not yet tried on a Linux version. I'm on XP SP3.

At one point I got a warning that the extraheaderrc file contained
newlines. It reads:

NNTP-Posting-Host:
Injection-Info:

and was edited using notepad.
