This is a Mailman bug.

Once upon a time, not all that long ago, the POST URL for the private
archive authentication form was simply
http://example.com/mailman/private, so if someone sent you a link to a
message of the form
http://example.com/mailman/private/list/2009-December/000067.html and
you followd that link and got the login page, when you logged in, you
just got the archive contents page instead of the post you wanted.

I fixed that, but the fix didn't take into account the ".mbox" URLs,
hence the bug that you see, and you have to log in first, then go to
the correct URL.
