How are you reading R-help?

Fundamentally, R-help is email based, so once a mail is sent, only the 
receiver is involved in where it gets (mis)filed.

If you are using a mail-to-news gateway like gmane, then there could be 
an issue with retention times. However, in the case of gmane, I doubt 
that would be the case because the thread is here:
