2.3.1.  Inheritable Headers

   Subject only to the overriding ability of the poster to determine the
   contents of the headers in a proto-article, headers with the
   inheritable property MUST be copied by followup agents (perhaps with
   some modification) into the followup article, and headers without
   that property MUST NOT be so copied.

   The following headers (see [USEFOR] for their definitions) are
   classified as "inheritable":
     o Newsgroups (a-5.5) - copied from the precursor, subject to any
       Followup-To-header.
     o Subject (a-5.4) - often modified by prefixing with "Re: ", but
       otherwise copied from the precursor.
     o References (a-6.10) - copied from the precursor, with the
       addition of the precursor's Message-ID.
     o Distribution (a-6.6) - copied from the precursor.

        NOTE: The Keywords-header is not inheritable, though some older
        newsreaders treated it as such.
