Unless you can devise a scheme that allows you to calculate the  
archive url given only information you already have, or can derive  
from the message.  Ultimately, this is what I'd love to have.  I've  
been doing a few experiments along these lines, and I'll probably  
write more about it later (either in mailman-developers or on the wiki).
