It would be simpler, and safer, to point out that the Link postings 
are archived and are publicly available.

Suggesting using a "No Archive" parameter will give people a false 
sense of privacy. Even if NLA doesn't archive the posts someone else 
may well do. Also it would not stop another subscriber from quoting a 
post in their own, so that copy would be archived.
