Dropping the 's' on Newsgroups fixes the problem.  "Newsgroup"
is a reserved pseudo-header that's handled internally by slrn.
"Newsgroups" uses the actual article headers.  Apparently
supernews recently stopped supporting "XHDR Newsgroups" (and
"XHDR path").  Might be time to finally shop for a new Usenet
provider.

I'm still not sure why a "Newsgroups:" rule causes slrn to do
"XHDR path", but that's sort of a moot point: even if that
succeeded, slrn would then do "XHDR Newsgroups" which would
fail -- causing indivual HEAD commands to be used anyway.
