[PATCH] Permission for archiving in mailing list FAQ

Hi all,

WRT the recent discussion/flamefest regarding archiving of mailing list
messages on freebsd-questions, I propose the following addition to
section 1.4 of the mailing list FAQ:

   By subscribing to a mailing list you give permission for your
   messages to be archived. If you do not want your messages to be saved
   in the freebsd.org archives, add a header ``X-No-archive: yes'' or
   ``X-Archive: no'' to your messages. If this header is not present in
   your messages, permission for archival is implied. The FreeBSD
   project has no control over archives that others can create.

It might also be a good idea to reference the FAQ in the subscription
pages.

Regards,

Roland
