Yes, I had this idea, too, but it doesn't solve the problem with existing
mails. A problem is the language: If someone in Germany says that he didn't
really understand the foreign language, courts are usually willing to believe
him, and the agreement is void. The same is probably true for most countries
where english is not the native language.

Besides that, the person in question did already claim that he thought mails
to the list were private. The chance that such a person would also claim that
he didn't understand the foreign language text is high.

But at least, it's worth a try.

Maybe this is the way to go.

Good idea. I could restrict access to the pages in question. That would leave
the archive intact.

There is still a chance that everyone who includes other peoples names or
email address will have his post removed.
