Why do people use X-No-Archive?
"Use of X-No-Archive began when DejaNews debuted in early 1995. DejaNews
was the first large-scale, commercial attempt to archive the Usenet news
feed, and a number of regular newsgroup participants were concerned
about privacy rights, as well as the possibility that their messages
could be re-posted through DejaNews at some point in the future."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-No-Archive "When DejaNews was purchased
by Google, Google continued to honor the X-No-Archive protocol.
Beginning in 2005, Google's newsgroup service (Google Groups) changed
its handling of X-No-Archive, allowing messages with the header to be
archived and made available for view for a period of six days; after six
days, the message was then deleted from the archive."
I searched for some information that was posted to me a couple years
ago, and found that they used that header. Now their information is
lost forever. (Right?)
"Other newsgroup archiving services have also followed in DejaNews'
footsteps, though the decision not to archive X-No-Archive messages has
been entirely voluntary. Uffgle Groups is a smaller spinoff that does
not honor X-No-Archive requests."
Gmane honors a variety of no-archive formats.
