The last option "When the page is out of date", what does that really

Some HTML files contain a header with an expiration date-time. A cached
page is "out of date" when you attempt to display it from your cache
after the expiration.
Here is an example of such a header declaration:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">
Thank you for that clarification, it is what I believed. I have never
used that declaration on the sites I have built.
So I can assume that a page with that header declaration in the cache
will not be cached again before the expiration date, even if some
changes are made in the online version?
When can a page that is missing that header declaration be cached
then, if I use that option? Never "automatically" and only if I reload
it?
Some browsers has the "Automatically" option, whatever that means? :\
Other browsers has no options at all for the cache, as I have not seen
them anyway.
Trying to understand the practical difference for those options, so
still hoping for an explanation to the "Every time I view the page"
option. In that case it's more about the effect on the server and what
SM re cache on only small changes on a page. I understand it does
compare every time. ;)
