6.12. Archive
This optional header provides an indication of the poster's intent
regarding preservation of the article in publicly accessible long-
term or permanent storage.
Archive-content = [CFWS] ("no" | "yes" ) [CFWS]
Archive-header-parameter
= Filename-token "=" value
; for USENET-header-parameters see 4.1
Filename-token = [CFWS] "filename" [CFWS]
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 newsgroup 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.
