Yes. I'm thinking that the safest & quickest (at runtime) approach will be
to embed a special header into the NNTP article stream just as it's being
injected by the newsserver (similar to the way the default Followup-To field
is automatically embedded now for .cad.dat). This would be very easy to add
on-the-fly into the article because it's already been scanned for DAT
content at that point. Unfortunately, embedding the "answer" into the
article's header rather than the news .overview file means that each article
has to be fetched off of disk on-the-fly later when displaying the article
list just to see whether or not it contains DAT content. So a listing of 20
news articles might take as much as 1/10 of real-time to display. No biggie
there, but it means that a list of 200 articles could take as much as 1
whole second if they're not already in the filesystem's cache. But this'll
probably be tolerable. Right now, the search results dump is fetching all
of the articles off of disk separately, even though it could get the same
info much faster from the .overview files.
