3.2.4 Control
The Control header marks the article as a control message, and
specifies the desired actions (additional to the usual ones of
storing and/or relaying the article).
control = "Control:" SP [CFWS] control-message [CFWS] CRLF
control-message = <empty>
The control-message indicates what action should be taken. The exact
syntax for control-message is specified in the companion document,
[USEPRO].

- However, the rule given above for control-message is incomplete.
- Further alternatives will be added incrementally as the various
- control-messages are introduced in section 7, or in extensions to
- this standard, using the "=/" notation defined in [RFC 2234]. For
- example, a putative "Control-message" would be defined as follows:
-
- control-message =/ Control-message
- Control-message = "Control" Control-arguments
- Control-arguments = <the argument(s) specific to that
- Control-message>
-
- where "Control" is a "verb" which is (and MUST be) of the syntactic
- form of a token and Control-arguments MUST be of the syntactic form
- of a CFWS-separated list of values (which may require the use of
- quoted-strings if any tspecials or non-ASCII characters are
- involved).
-
- The verb indicates what action should be taken, and the argument(s)
- (if any) supply details. In some cases, the body of the article may
- also contain details.
-
- An article with a Control-header MUST NOT also have a Supersedes-
- header.
-
- NOTE: The presence of a Subject-header starting with the string
- "cmsg " and followed by a Control-message MUST NOT be construed,
- in the absence of a proper Control-header, as a request to
- perform that control action (as may have occurred in some legacy
- software).
