All your suggestions are nice (as always :-) but do not achieve my
goals: I want to *selectively* add "X-No-Archive: yes", article per
article.

I want this because sometimes I answer posts/mails with seemless (for
the group) data, for example to stop a big useless thread or to ask
the posters to continue using mail. Archiving this kind of post is only 
a waste of disk space and a useless increase of noise/signal ratio[1].
