No. You can either have archives or not. If people are concerned about current posts becoming a problem in the future, then it is better not to have archives at all. The list archives MIGHT be edited manually, but that can only be done by the List Owner(s), and you want the writer to choose. This would be a nightmare to accomplish. A solution might be to have 2 lists, one archived and the other not, then the poster could decide which to post to for archiving purposes. Set the non-archived list as a member of the archived list, set the Reply-to= and List-Address= keywords to point to the non-archived list. Have closed subscription to the archive list, but Send=Public. This should allow posting to either list, but all members to read all postings. ________________________________________________________________________ Ben Parker ............
