Thank you for clarification, however *what* was adding that kludge wasn't really the point.

Right, but the question is (after reading that wiki site, and finding no reference to said prefix), is if the newsgroup software(s) are looking for an "X-NO-ARCHIVE" or an "RFC-X-NO-ARCHIVE" header field. According to the above, adding the "RFC" prefix would cause the search for the proper header field to fail, as would the rest of the ones Tommi has changed. That's why I asked.

Nick
