NAME
       overview.fmt - format of news overview database

DESCRIPTION
       The  file <pathetc in inn.conf>/overview.fmt specifies the
       organization of the news overview database.   Blank  lines
       and  lines  beginning  with  a  number  sign  (``#'')  are
       ignored.	 The order of lines in this file is important; it
       determines  the	order  in which the fields will appear in
       the database.

       Most lines will consist of an article header name, option-
       ally  followed  by  a  colon.  A trailing set of lines can
       have the word ``full'' appear after the colon; this  indi-
       cates  that the header should appear as well as its value.

       If this file  is	 changed,  it  is  usually  necessary  to
       rebuild the existing overview database using expireover(8)
       after removing all existing overview files.

       The default file, show below,  is  compatible  with  Geoff
       Collyer's ``nov'' package:
	      Subject:
	      From:
	      Date:
	      Message-ID:
	      References:
	      Bytes:
	      Lines:
	      ##  Some newsreaders get better performance if Xref is present
	      Xref:full
