Can anyone who uses GNUS remind me how to view full headers of a post?
(Ctrl-H A, Ctrl-H M, etc. were no help, obviosuly I'm looking for the
wrong keywords).

Of course I could just killfile the guy from his posting name, but I 
always like to see if there are additional clues in the headers for 
creating a broader filter that might be more useful. Idiots are prone 
to morph, for example, and anonymisers have a notoriously low SNR.

I used to know how to view them, but after taking a year off usenet,
I've forgotten all my motor-memory keystrokes (and the C-x C-c that 
I've learnt from my current mailer makes GNUS quite a fun experience!).

Cheers,
Phil
