Well, we could remove (or replace with some different mail from a template telling the PR was a spam) even the initial mails for the spam/ component PRs in the archive afterwards. It is just the txt/ and html files plus perhaps adjusting the subject, or perhaps just adding one <meta ... > line to those msg*.html corresponding to spam/ bugs? <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> or so? Are they ever regenerated or are they just created once and unmodified ever since? Jakub
