Killfiles are used by reader software to determine which articles
(not) to display to the user. Expiration is a function of the
server which removes articles from the store based on local
policy w.r.t. article age and based on explicitly-specified
expiration date. Killfiles *may* use Subject field and other
field content; expiration does not use Subject field content.
