I added:

I added:


     user_pref("mail.identity.id1.headers", "archive");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id1.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id2.headers", "archive");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id2.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id3.headers", "archive");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id3.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id4.headers", "archive");
     user_pref("mail.identity.id4.header.archive", "X-No-Archive: yes");

to prefs.js, let's see if that works.
