This is a worthwhile suggestion, although multiple URL auxiliary headers
wouldn't technically invalidate the posting since, as you say, they are
*.answers-internal and not covered by the Usenet RFCs, and in any case
appear in the body of the RFC and are as such not treated as headers by
news servers or agents.
I think I'm correct in saying that the URL header isn't parsed by any of
our scripts, so I don't see any issues arising from using more than one.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if rkive has any special behaviour with
respect to the URL auxiliary header.
Cheers,
Nick
