per a suggestion by Dan Ehrlich, there's yet another header in the comp.archives articles. The header X-Original-Date: shows the Date: header that was on the original article before it was reposted. Useful in a number of ways -- to see how long it's taking between posting and reposting, as a generator for a unique key for storing articles, or to sort on. comp.sys.sun does the same thing. think of it as a metric of how far the moderator is behind :-). --Ed
