3.2.5 Supersedes
The Supersedes header contains a message identifier specifying an
article to be superseded upon the arrival of this one. An article
containing a Supersedes header is equivalent to a "cancel" [USEPRO]
control message for the specified article, followed immediately by
the new article without the Supersedes header.
supersedes = "Supersedes:" SP [CFWS] msg-id-core [CFWS] CRLF
NOTE: There is no "c" in Supersedes.
NOTE: The Supersedes header defined here has no connection with the
Supersedes header that sometimes appears in Email messages converted
from X.400 according to [RFC2156]; in particular, the syntax here
permits only one <msg-id-core> in contrast to the multiple
<msg-id-core>s in that Email version.

- doubt).
