Aaarghh.  MHonArc per default does not honour the 'X-no-archive: yes' or
the 'Restrict: no-external-archive' headers.  I configured it explicitly
to honour these just now.  So: if you'd like to post a message for the
subscribers only (not for web visitors), make sure you set one of these
headers in your post.  Please note that any other subscriber can quote
your sensitive data, and post it without this header being set.  So:
watch out when quoting.

O, and btw: email addresses, or things which look like those in the body
of your posts will get mangled before being published on the webarchive.

Bye,
