A good idea, there.  However, I think some sites (e.g., those using Notes)
may chop off subject lines at about 40 characters.  Corrections are certainly
welcomed here.  If this is the case, however, I would think it useful to
include the REPOST flag in the "Archive-name:" line as well (assuming this line
remains a constant part of postings).
