Not completely true. Mailman 2.1.x adds X-No-Archive: yes to monthly and
on demand password reminders and list welcome messages (i.e. mailman
generated messages containing user passwords), but I think you probably
mean a list setting or something based on list settings to cause
X-No-Archive: yes to be put in outgoing posts and digests

Maybe. I would be interested in what others think of this idea.
