3.3  Obsolete Headers

   Early versions of news software following the modern format sometimes
   generated headers like the following:

   Relay-Version: version B 2.10 2/13/83; site cbosgd.UUCP
   Posting-Version: version B 2.10 2/13/83; site eagle.UUCP
   Date-Received: Friday, 19-Nov-82 16:59:30 EST

   Relay-Version contained version information about the relaying agent
   that last processed the article.  Posting-Version contained version
   information about the posting agent that posted the article.
   Date-Received contained the date when the last relaying agent to
   process the article first saw it (in a slightly nonstandard format).

   In addition, this present standard obsoletes certain headers defined
   in [Son-of-1036]:

   Also-Control: cancel <9urrt98y53@site.example>
   See-Also: <i4g587y@site1.example> <kgb2231+ee@site2.example>
   Article-Names: comp.foo:charter
   Article-Updates: <i4g587y@site1.example>

   Also-Control indicated a control message that was also intended to be
   filed as a normal article.  See-Also listed related articles, but
   without the specific relationship with followups that pertains to the
   References-header.  Article-Names indicated some special significance
   of that article in relation to the indicated newsgroup.
   Article-Updates indicated that an earlier article was updated,
   without at the same time being superseded.

   The headers listed above are documented for historical purposes only.
   Articles containing these headers MUST NOT be generated.  Persons
   writing new agents SHOULD ignore any former meanings these headers.
