No - because of the way the digest is now structured, the search engines

will find actual messages.  So someone can do a search on "Bill Cardell" and

"drugs" and come up with a confession that he is a dealer!  Unlikely (I

think the message has to be the result of a search on the archives, which is

then set up as an html page, whcih the agents for the search engine find),

but possible.



We're also archived outside of our own setup.  A group called

"reference.com" has just started archiving the list - as of yesterday, as a

matter of fact.  They just asked me to pass along the following:



----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Reference.COM has begun archiving this list as of:

	Feb. 2, 1997



- Searchable archives for the lists are available at:

	http://www.reference.com/cgi-bin/pn/listarch?list=miata@list.miata.net



- If you do *NOT* want your post archived at Reference.COM, include the

  following line as an email header or as the first line of your message:

		X-No-Archive: yes

  

----------------------------------------------------------------------  



Also, we've had at least one report of the list being mirrored to some

newsgroup.  Once your message is out there, it's hard to say where it will

end up!  It's not always in Miata magazine!
