-   The presence of an "Archive: no" header in an article indicates that
-   the poster does not permit redistribution from publicly accessible
-   long-term or permanent archives. The absence of this header, or an
-   explicit "Archive: yes", indicates that the poster is willing for
-   such redistribution to take place.  The optional "filename" parameter
-   can then be used to suggest a filename under which the article should
-   be stored. Further extensions to this standard may provide additional
-   parameters for administration of the archiving process.
-
-        NOTE: This standard does not attempt to define the length of
-        "long-term", since it is dependent on many factors, including
-        the retention policies of individual sites, and the customs or
-        policies established for particular newsgroups or hierarchies.
-
-        NOTE: Posters are cautioned that some sites may not implement
-        the "no" option of the Archive-header correctly. In some
-        jurisdictions non-compliance with this header may constitute a
-        breach of copyright or of other legal provisions.  Moreover,
-        even if this header prevents the poster's words from being
-        archived publicly, it does nothing to prevent the archiving of a
-        followup in which those words are quoted.
