Yes, you are right, I did not think of the ressource signs.

There are lots of discussion about it, see: bug 892312 and http://wl.widelands.org/forum/topic/1014/. We will probably have to wait if the signs will stay forever or whatsoever.

If the messages are not deleted from the archive, there are some questions:
- Will all news or only the ressource news be left? If the latter: Do they need a "Don't delete me"-property?
- How can they be deleted definitely? If your archive grows bigger and bigger, you want to delete old messages (e.g. because the ressource is completely mined). If one currently presses "Del", they will reappear in the post entry.

Do you really take the time to check your old news? Sorry that I ask that stupid but I think sending some geologists there or having a quick look into the editor would be faster. But maybe I will change my behaviour if the messages can be mangaged like suggested ;-)

I set it to confirmed because after having thought about it, it does not sound that bad.
