I'm new to the list, so pardon me if I'm misinterpreting the thread...

It seems to me that we should be able to define some flag which an
auto-archiver can recognize, be it a text string in the welcome message or
a special command (similar to a robots.txt file on a webserver) which tells
the auto-archiver or human reader what is appropriate to archive and what
is not.
