5.6.  Path

   The Path-header shows the route taken by a message since its entry
   into the Netnews system. It is a variant header (4.2.5.3), each agent
   that processes an article being required to add one (or more) entries
   to it. This is primarily to enable relaying agents to avoid sending
   articles to sites already known to have them, in particular the site
   they came from, and additionally to permit tracing the route articles
   take in moving over the network, and for gathering Usenet statistics.
   Finally the presence of a '%' path-delimiter in the Path-header can
   be used to identify an article injected in conformance with this
   standard.
