Joan, the problem here was not just Google, but the fact that there were still copies of the deleted archive messages. They got spidered by Google again and again (no idea why google would have access to these pages?). They had to vanish in order to also vanish from Google's search results. I thought some of us would like to know about these extra copies ...
