Nnimap was changed, before it fetched the entire rfc822 article header
and Gnus converted it to it's internal structure (using extra-header),
now it fetches a IMAP article structure and convert it to NOV lines
(doesn't use extra-header) which Gnus convert to it's internal
structure.

If nnimap want to support extra-headers it has to be implemented
exclusively in nnimap, which is on the todo list.

It's not a side effect of NOV caching, but a side effect from using
the NOV format for nnimap<->gnus communication.
