RFC 1327 defines a standardized mail heading attribute with
the name "Expiry-Date:". RFC 1036 defined a standardized
Usenet News heading attribute with the name "Expires".
Since it is obvious an advantage to avoid unnecessary
differences between the format of News article headings
and mail hadings, I ask the following question:
Was the duplication a mistake, or is there some intentional
reason to have different names for the Expiry-Date heading
attribute in mail and in Netnews?
