[vox-tech] X-No-Archive Inheritance?

[Jonathan Stickel]

I hesitate to post my 2-cents due to ignorance, but here goes:

It seems to me that the point of choosing not to archive a message (with 
X-No-Archive) is because the message is not worth archiving for some 
reason (e.g. one-liner, too silly, etc.).

Anyone thinking that they can protect personal information by not 
archiving a message should think again.  Any message sent to a vox list 
is sent to over 100 different person's mailboxes who can do with it what 
they will...
