the last time we had to rebuild archives was about 2 weeks ago.
Unfortunately this is a major drawback of removing messages from
archives as you pointed out and we are aware of it. We had a thread
there though that contained private information and we also did not
want to refuse the request of the person affected to remove their
data. A subsequent request that followed shortly after was actually
rejected for this very reason. In the future such requests will more
likely rejected and if unavoidable we will just XXX out information
instead of removing complete threads to avoid this from happening
again. Everybody on this list please be extra careful about posting
private information to a public list you might regret in the future.
Sorry for breaking links, we are aware URLs should never change if at
all possible.
Thank you for the explanation, Daniel.
