I would not recommend your procedure:
1) when archives are "trimmed," placement of archive is relocated.
2) when a NOMAIL subscriber (perhaps a WEB user, or on vacation) starts
receiving mail, that's not good.
I have an alternate suggestion: start a NEW list that is archive-only and
set the "permissions" so that the discussion list subscribers can access
the archive-only list archives. Of course the subscribers of the
archive-only list would be who you want to be able to store into it. The
discussion list would have all of the "usual" anti-attachment list
definition parameters.
