Are you sure you do?  Altering the length of the archive by even one byte
renders the indices incorrect, meaning that any archive retrieval from
within Majordomo will be screwed up.  You cannot edit the archives
yourself.  (We could write something to rebuild the indices once you've
messed with an archive, but I don't think this exists yet and there are
still issues that it can't solve.)

Obviously this needs to be addressed, probably by implementing code to
delete an archived message and to replace one message with another.
