    Bug: unhelpful error reporting for invalid Permalinks/Source links

    An invalid Permalink, for example:
    
    https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/wxyz@%3Cdev.ponymail.apache.org%3E
    
    results in a blank screen.  It's not obvious whether the request is still being processed. The code should display a suitable error message.
    
    The corresponding invalid Source URL:
    
    https://lists.apache.org/api/source.lua/wxyz@%3Cdev.ponymail.apache.org%3E
    
    results in the message:
    
    "Error!
    
    /var/www/ponymail_asf/site/api/lib/elastic.lua:31: Backend Database returned code 404!"
    
    Although it is clear that something has gone wrong, it's not obvious what the problem is.
    The code should report "Message not found" or something similar.
    Note that if a Source URL refers to a private message, then the response is the helpful:
    "You must be logged in to view this email"
