Oddly, you have reduced the chances helping someone else by putting
'X-no-archive: yes' in your headers. (I use Google heavily to solve my
computer technical problems with huge success. I am bemused by someone
who puts up a very good post for the record and then cuts out 90% of
their audience with an automatic 'don't archive' instruction.)

Cheers,

Darrell

If you want to save posterity from the loss,
simply don't remove the original quoted material from a reply,
without inserting the same header into your reply.

The fact that the above attribute is not "inherited" by replies
somewhat nullifies its effectiveness, reinforcing the old adage
about closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped :)
