adding x-noarchive in TB
Sam
some materials on this at Mozilla. I think it goes in the pref.js but am
not sure.

I was hoping it would be in the config editor and just toggle it. But
can't find anything there.

Hi Sam,
I added this to prefs.js which then shows up in the header selector
dropdown (Newsgroup:, To:, etc)
user_pref("mail.compose.other.header", "X-No-Archive");

Great thanks. I don't need to add YES to it?

Why do you not want to archive your posts? You do realize that when
someone quotes you, you're still in the archive...

Sure you can, just add a second pref with a different wording, etc.

You can add header lines to every message sent out via a certain identity.
This requires at least 2 user.js lines.
user_pref("mail.identity.id#.headers", "whatever");
user_pref("mail.identity.id#.header.whatever", "X-No-Archive: yes");
Put your identity number in place of the "#". You can look in the Config
Editor [1] to find out the number of the identity you want to add the
line to.
"whatever" is simply a description. You can put whatever word you want
there, as long is it is the same word you use in the line that actually
contains the header you want to add.
For example:
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.headers", "archive,secret");
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
user_pref("mail.identity.id3.header.secret", "X-Secret-Word: Mozilla");

This might give you some ideas:

That's a good exercise, but perhaps it should also be noted
that "X-No-Archive: Yes" tends to be honored, by convention,
and in particular by Google (after its initial waiting time),
even if appearing as the first line of a message _body_
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-No-Archive
Even when honored, it can't stop anyone else
from quoting the original post into permanently archived replies.
Replying without quoting will leave the world guessing
what was replied to, while replying with quoting,
as is usually done, defeats most of the original idea.
