We’ve decided to make a policy change for The Mail Archive regarding message removal. For the last eighteen years (time flies!) list administrators have been responsible for decisions on removing content from publicly archived lists. We have had this policy in place in order to preserve the integrity of the public lists and to avoid The Mail Archive having to make decisions on removing archived public list content. Thank you to all the admins who have made those decisions over the years.
The new policy is a strict expansion. List administrators may still remove any message from their list. In addition, any poster may request removal of messages that that they themselves have written without having to get administrator approval. Deletion requests for messages written by another user (including messages where an individual’s public post may have been quoted by someone else) will still require list administrator approval. We feel this policy strikes a balance between respect for individual privacy and respect for the concept of public mailing lists and open public discussion. As always, removal requests should be sent to our support address ( themailarch...@gmail.com). Thank you again for using The Mail Archive. Jeff
