[Mailman-Users] message url in footer

To refer others to it.  To save a reference to it without saving the message
itself.  Look at the Dr. Dobb's Python URL--e.g.,

  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-September/121334.html

which offers a weekly summary of threads on comp.lang.python.  Actually, the
above reference is interesting because since I've been receiving the Dr.
Dobb's Python URL, this is one of the first NOT to include references to the
messages summarized.

Thanks,
