Appendix A.3 - Obsolete Headers
   Early versions of news software following the modern format sometimes
   generated headers like the following:

      Relay-Version: version B 2.10 2/13/83; site cbosgd.UUCP
      Posting-Version: version B 2.10 2/13/83; site eagle.UUCP
      Date-Received: Friday, 19-Nov-82 16:59:30 EST

   Relay-Version contained version information about the relayer that
   last processed the article. Posting-Version contained version
   information about the posting agent that posted the article. Date-
   Received contained the date when the last relayer to process the
   article first saw it (in a slightly nonstandard format).

   In addition, this present standard obsoletes certain headers defined
   in [Son-of-1036] (see 6.22

      Also-Control: cancel <9urrt98y53@site.example>
      See-Also:  
      Article-Names: comp.foo:charter
      Article-Updates: 

   Also-Control indicated a control message that was also intended to be
   filed as a normal article. See-Also listed related articles, but
   without the specfic relationship with followups that pertains to the
   References header.  Article-Names indicated some special significance
   of that article in relation to the indicated newsgroup. Article-
   Updates indicated that an earlier article was updated, without at the
   same time being superseded.

   These headers are documented for archeological purposes only.
   Articles containing these headers MUST NOT be generated.
