The headers are in the raw archive and not in the monthly (or
quaterly, weekly) text format archive. I would rather stop
publicizing the raw archive even if the other archives are public
accessible. At least it should be configurable (in mm_cfg).

We use a modified version of mailman 2.0.x in Japan and we like
a feature of adding numbers in the subject header. The users tend
to reference articles by the number not by the archive URL.
So, we want the archive to be munged.
BTW, I'm preparing a patch for numbering the subject prefix.
