It's not included in the server's overview database. Here are the fields
that typically are (I got this exmaple from telnetting into
news.individual.net's server[1]):
list overview.fmt
215 Order of fields in overview database.
Subject:
From:
Date:
Message-ID:
References:
Bytes:
Lines:
Xref:full
Crossposted groups should appear in the Xref header. Try filtering on
that.
[1] If you want to check with your server, telnet in and once you
authorize issue the same list overview.fmt command I did in my
example.
