Indeed. So the end result is: it can still get archived, only you don't know if it is, and if it is, it may be incomplete. What I can see it is much worse than just let it all be in the open. That way you will know it is archived if you ever need to return to the conversation (which frequently happens to me). And, whenever so, the conversation will be completely archived, not fragmentarily at the mercy of the quoters. By the way, XNAY is "X-No-Archive: Yes". > My message-cite-articles-with-x-no-archive is t, so > this message will stay understandable in the > future Mine is too and I don't remember setting that. Actually let me check that: no, I didn't. That tells me only people like Comrade Sjøgren are respectful enough to honor that header. By default Gnus don't (I did 'emacs -Q', then (require 'message) and `M-x describe-variable message-cite-articles-with-x-no-archive'). -- underground experts united _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
