[issue10281] Exception raised when an NNTP overview field is absent

OK, thanks.
By the way, why is the token stripped?
  token = token[len(h):].lstrip(" ")

"X-Header:   test  \r\n" in an header is kept in the overview as-is.
I do not see why "  test  " should not be the value returned.

Also, with:
  token = token or None

"X-Header: \r\n" becomes None if I understand how the source code works...  Yet, it is a real '', not None.
