Please read carefully <meta name="robots" content="noarchive">

msnbot documentation only specifies <meta name="msnbot" content="noarchive">

Answer definitively whether msnbot obeys <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> or not.

Thank you.

Yes, msnbot does obey <meta name="robots" content="noarchive">.
