This would be really easy to script and run daily from cron. The basic
archives are stored in mbox format, so you just remove the appropriate
posts from the beginning of the mailbox and then call bin/arch with the
--wipe option to regenerate the archive html stuff. Run it early in
the morning when no one is looking.
Piece of cake.
