side note:

you can use:

   X-No-Archive: yes

or

   Archive: no

to prevent the email from getting archived.  actually, i just
implemented the 2nd one a few days ago.  i should probably test it.  was
going to, but got so busy i got side tracked.  i'll prolly do it on
vox-outreach since it's a relatively small list compared to vox and
vox-tech.

as i understand it, many lists used to use "X-No-Archive:" but
"Archive:" is becoming more in vogue.  probably because people aren't
fond of the double negative.
