As it's evident from the headers of all your messages (viewable by clicking on "Raw display" on the page mentioned above) you are using/accessing this forum as if it were an NNTP newsgroup, via gmane.org The X-No-Archive header is an NNTP newsgroup message header field used to prevent a Usenet message from being archived in various servers. Gmane (see http://gmane.org/expiry.php) does honor that header, even if reminds users that it is obsolescent. Therefore, it should delete from http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general all messages containing that header 14 days after they're posted. But [email protected] was born and still is also/primarily a mailing list: a public discussion group run with software that couldn't care less about NNTP headers. Gmane and newsgroup readers are just an additional way to reach that mailing list. Therefore, the public mailing list archives created by that mailing list software (AND all the public mirrors of those archives created by independent third parties on the Internet). So, even if that message of yours will be canceled by http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general after April 25, almost surely it will remain online forever, together with all your other contributions to this community, at the URL I provided and any of its mirrors. :-) My understanding, since you are "seeing" this forum as an NNTP newsgroup, was that you are adding that header as a request to the NNTP server to remove your messages from public archives after 14 days, so I just pointed out that it won't work in this case. Sorry if this wasn't the case. The explanation above is still useful as general reference, of course.
