When you cross-post into *.answers, the Archive-name you specify inside
the body of your message is used to archive your posting in the
appropriate *.answers newsgroups' directories, e.g., one such location
is FTP://rtfm.mit.edu:pub/usenet/news.answers/[archive_name_here].

The Subject line is used to create an archive name in non-*.answers
newsgroups being cross-posted to when no newsgroup-specific archive name
is specified in the auxillary header (as described in sections C.2.A and
C.2.B of the guidelines for submissions to *.answers).
