   You really don't have a clue do you.  The X-No-Archive header STOPS   
   messages from being archived forever on places like Google groups.   
   When someone posts with 'X-No-Archive: yes' in their message headers   
   or (sometimes) on the first line of the message, that message is NOT   
   archived.  When someone like you then comes and quotes the entire   
   message and DOESN'T use X-No-Archive, that reply is archived with the   
   original mesage inside it.  Do you get it now?  Just think, that last   
   paragraph of your message archived forever for all to see.  If you   
   don't want to use x-no then don't fullquote the messages of people   
   that do use it.

   BTW, Thunderbird does indeed support that method and therefore you   
   certainly can add that line to your headers.  If you need to know how   
   to do that, Google has many places for that information.  You do know   
   how to use Google don't you?
