For me, the best way to archive things is to add the tag `:ARCHIVE:' to the
entries, without moving them.

That way, you have a better view of your entries, without your display being
cluttered with all those archived entries (as they won't be opened, even in
the "show all contents" view). The only way to open them, for inspection, is
to C-TAB them (IIRC).

Best regards,
  Seb
