Is it possible to have one server only getting headers, but not download articles ? ( that is left to others servers ).
Grtz, Rob

You could attach only the server you want to pull headers from to the newsgroup(s). Enable message-ID for the other servers. Then, before downloading any articles, go into Properties>Servers and set MaxTasks=0 for the server used to pull headers. Of course, to get new headers, you would have to change it back again.
Or, perhaps, after pulling headers, right-click that server in the server list and select "disable server."

Prioritize your servers so that the one you only want headers from is at the lowest priority, i.e. 1.
Checkmark the "Suppress headers" and "Msg-ID direct" for the others.
You can also right-click and disable a server in the server pane, but I think that would also disable headers. In practice, I find this not all that necessary, because it rarely gets down to needing my lowest priority server.
