Umm.. Bob? Can you expound a bit more on what you mean by 'archived'? 
What is the goal here, and what (possibly hypothetical) policies do you
envision?  I'm mostly concerned because I currently get more than a few
PGP-signed messages from co-workers that don't have anything more detailed
to say than "Yes, gcc 2.7.0 looks like a good idea, let's shoot for the
next software upgrade window".  Would such messages need to be archived
at all? For only a short while? Forever?  Or do you mean "only messages that
have legal standing as purchase orders/payments"? Or???
