You really can't.  r-help is a public mailing list with live archives,  
not only stored by R's various servers, but by several other online  
archiving/list web sites (eg. gmane, nabble, google, etc.)

There is not really a way to remove your post from every possible  
location on the web that may store a copy of it.

Just be careful when you are posting, that you really want to send  
it...  :-)

HTH,
