GM> BTW, I noticed the headers from a moderator's message of yours GM> earlier today GM> (mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]): >> X-Archive: expiry=0 >> X-No-Archive: yes Damn! Forgot to change the order in my own set! Actually, I'm sure I did change it, but maybe the system here crashed before the settings were stored (I'm working on a temporary system while my regular is being repaired and this one's a bit "volatile"). GM> In this case the X-Archive header does nothing, correct? Correct. GM> Actually, that might be good. GMane users will see the trouting GM> for 14 days, but it won't clutter either long-term archive. Maybe troutings should be subject to a one or two day visibility. There is a *major* point of public trouts. It makes sure that nobody sees an "against-the-rules posting" and thinks "they allow that here whatever the rules say". I have quit lists that only issue private troutings *because* of the high levels of abuse that encourages. GM> As an aside, there's a pleasing redundancy in this header pair. GM> Kinda makes me want to add an: GM> X-No-No-Archive: no GM> header, just for fun.
