Let me suggest the following:

1)  Convince expire to ignore article number 1.

2)  Update the "motng"(?) by sending a normal article with a special
    header line.  (The control line?)  The effect of this is to store
    this article both as a normal article, and as article number 1.

The changes to expire are simple.  Some work needs to be done to recognize
the new type of control message, but this too should be fairly simple.  Rn
doesn't need to be changed at all.  If we want the Xref feature to work for
this kind of article, not too important, these patches needs to be changed
somewhat, though.
