4.2.2.2. Inheritable Headers
Subject only to the overriding ability of the poster to determine the
contents of the headers in a proto-article, headers with the
inheritable property MUST be copied by followup agents (perhaps with
some modification) into the followup article, and headers without
that property MUST NOT be so copied. Examples include:
o Newsgroups (5.5) - copied from the precursor, subject to any
Followup-To header.
o Subject (5.4) - modified by prefixing with "Re: ", but otherwise
copied from the precursor.
o References (6.10) - copied from the precursor, with the addition
of the precursor's Message-ID.
o Distribution (6.6) - copied from the precursor.
NOTE: The Keywords header is not inheritable, though some older
newsreaders treated it as such.
