Some headers are stripped before being added to the quarterly/weekly
mini-archive, but both see messages /after/ they've been munged.
(On the second point, I'll try to look at patch #594771. That would
see like a good opportunity to make raw archives optional.)

That seems to be the concensus, i.e. the archive should reflect what
the members get. Makes sense -- if you want a more pristine archive,
you can interpose a tee to a file before the message gets to Mailman,
or you could add a different handler module. I'll leave things as is.

Cool. But this is likely a new feature that will have to wait until
after 2.1 final.
