I didn't have a clue a few minutes ago, and I won't say I have much better
of one now, but here's a quick patch I made that seems to do what you want.
You'll have to remove the dash escapes from the patch text put in by gpg
(which will happen automatically if you have a good MUA that checks
signatures for you).  I could have sent this using the better PGP/MIME
format, but too many (broken, IMO) MUA's make it a pain in the ass to read
messages formatted that, despite the fact that it's a published RFC.

Anyway, have someone that knows python and mailman better than I look this
over before you use it for anything important.

There's only two files I needed to modify, Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py,
and templates/en/archidxentry.html.  One thing I can see being a problem is
that lines will get real long so the formatting in archidxentry.html might
need to be played with to keep it readable.
