The heading of that column is:

File - Expires on - Description

'Never' is the expiration date.

Here are two archives I made, seconds apart.  The first one was without a
description.  The second I directed to be described "foopy".

Please pardon the long lines:  there's no f=d for this command.

You'll notice that "foopy" is right under the Archive Date: column.
