Hi,

Forgot to add:

You can add the following header:
X-Archive: expiry=1 (which will expire your article after one day)

I'm not sure if the IOZ list software will keep the header in tact though.

There are also ways to remove all your articles if you really wanted to, 
see:
http://gmane.org/expiry.php

regards,
   -Tiaan.
