6.15. Also-Control

The Also-Control header content marks the article as being a
control  message IN ADDITION to being a normal news article,
and specifies the desired actions:

     Also-Control-content = Control-content

An article with an Also-Control header is filed  and  passed
on  normally,  but the content of the Also-Control header is
processed as if it were found in a Control header.

     NOTE: It is sometimes desirable to piggyback  con-
     trol  actions  on  a  normal  article, so that the
     article will be filed normally but  will  also  be
     acted  on  as  a  control message.  This header is
     essentially a generalization of Supersedes.

     NOTE: Be warned that  some  old  relayers  do  not
     implement Also-Control.

An  article with an Also-Control header MUST not have a Con-
trol or Supersedes header.
