How long are emails saved in Marketo?

We're just getting started with a new newsletter that is sent through Marketo. I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to archive the newsletters on our web site, and had the idea of linking to them (using the View as web page link). However, I can't find any info about how long an email is stored/saved in Marketo. I obviously need to know that before I decide if this is a good or bad way to archive our newsletters.

Hi Sarah,

I download the HTML for the email (by clicking the View as a webpage) and view the source code, copy and put it onto a blank template landing page in Marketo. Then I link my website newsletter archives to each landing page instead. http://www.leandatainc.com/news.html  

I do this to track clicks but you can take the HTML and put it onto a blank website template too, and host it yourself if you are concerned. I do not know of the landing page not being accessible or having a deadline date. (Ony if I cancel Marketo). I believe I can still archive the program, and the landing page will still be accessible.

@Kristen M but I still see nothing about it that isn't safe or surefire.  If it's known to not work in some way, we should file a bug with Marketo, not cast doubt on a feature we actually trust every day.  Also, assuming a PDF is actually saved from that same web page, I don't see how that's easier to digest, or any less ugly; some computers even open PDFs in a separate reader app, which surely isn't easier.

That said, if View as Web Page created PDFs automatically I would probably take advantage of that option for very old emails because they seem more archive-y.
