The server is indeed already using the Archive-name: secondary header. It's
especially obvious if you have a multi-level archive name. I don't know
whether the newsgroup archive name is used (I don't have one). It does appear
to flatten directories consisting of .../part<n> files to the containing
level. An old version of my faq appears as a result of my having changed the
archive name. The technical notes found on the server indicate a desire to
change to an actual mirror of the rtfm archive rather than intercepting
postings; this also implies use of the archive names.
