As we have no idea what your posting looks like, nor how it gets from you
to the net, we can do little more than guess in the dark.

My guess is that you have the Archive-name: header lumped in with the
mail/news headers, and the gateway strips Archive-name because it isn't
a valid RFC822 or RFC1036 header.

Remember that the auxiliary headers must be separated by the news/mail
headers by one or more blank lines.
