5. Mandatory Headers
An article MUST have one, and only one, of each of the following
headers: Date, From, Message-ID, Subject, Newsgroups, Path.
Note also that there are situations, discussed in the relevant parts
of section 6, where References-, Sender-, or Approved-headers are
mandatory. In control messages, specific values are required for
certain headers.
A proto-article (see 8.2.1) may lack some of these mandatory headers,
but they MUST then be supplied by the injecting agent.
