How long do you keep files containing list messages on disk?* Text messages generally expire within 60 to 90 days, depending on the volume of the group. This is true for either usenet newsgroups or mail lists on our site. Binary messages will expire in about 7 days. When you subscribe to the group, you see messages as soon as the subscription is approved by the list, but if you wait six months to read any messages, you may only see things from the last 90 days or so. So we do not archive in the sense that we don't save messages indefinitely for later retrieval. Eric David Shaw wrote: > C) RemarQ does not archive mail lists. Once a user is successfully subscribed, they are able to read discussions from the date of their subscription approval. If the user is unsubscribed from the list they are not allowed to see any messages in the list from that point forward. > > Okay, say I subscribe to a list, and then don't read for a month.
