3.3 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 relaying agent
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 relaying agent 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]:
Also-Control: cancel <9urrt98y53@site.example>
See-Also: <i4g587y@site1.example> <kgb2231+ee@site2.example>
Article-Names: comp.foo:charter
Article-Updates: <i4g587y@site1.example>
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 specific 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same time being superseded.
The headers listed above are documented for historical purposes only.
Articles containing these headers MUST NOT be generated. Persons
writing new agents SHOULD ignore any former meanings of these
headers.
