... The 'do not archive' business probably got started by guys who frequent the RV-list & other lists sponsored by Matt Dralle & Matronics. He has the feature in his list software so that deletion is automatic if the words are included anywhere in the post. His list is run not-for-profit, so he might be willing to share the code (he wrote it) if you are interested.
Actually, that feature dates back to usenet groups. It was a common feature of *N*X-based list servers, as a way to conserve scarce disk space. By the time that Mickeysoft servers ascended to their present level of coverage, disk space had become (relatively) cheap, so it wasn't routinely implemented.
