Sure, XNAY prevents *your* articles from being
archived. But anybody (except for Adam Sjøgren ;) can
quote your text (or parts of your text taken out of
context), and that will be archived.
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').
