Script to generate mail archive URL from message
Hi,
Seen that every message to the mailing list can be retrieved from the
archive using an URL of the form
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/YYYYMM.mbox/%3CMessage-ID%3E
I hacked a script that parses a message from stdin to generate the
corresponding URL, attached. In Mutt this can be invoked as pipe on
a message with
|apache-mail-archive-url.pl
Using Thunderbird you probably have to save the raw message as file
first unless there is an add-on to invoke arbitrary commands on
a message.
Best of course would be if the mailing list software would insert
a header X-Archive-URL before distributing the message that could be
copied to the clipboard.

Note that in general for any official Apache project work we prefer to
use links to apache.org resources where possible. I.e. for board
reports and for the bulk of public websites about Apache projects, we
expect projects to use the Apache mail-archives.a.o server.
This is because our own Apache infrastructure team is responsible for
maintaining them, so we can be assured that these links will remain
present as long as the ASF is around.
This is nothing against other mail archive providers, just a general
note to ponder. I certainly like the UI at http://apache.markmail.org/
better than mail-archive.a.o for searching out messages and threads.

Link to the mail-archive.com archives can be created in a similar
manner - hash the id & the list-post address (the libreoffice org
lists (the ones managed by TDF, so not the dev-list that is run by
freedesktop.org make use of that)
sample code to compute the link:
http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#listserver
example from your post
msg-id 20110712204457.GC25752@ulungele.erack.de
list-address ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org
resulting hash-link:

Email infrastructure@ or show up on #asfinfra IRC.
(I know that at least two members of root@ aren't even subscribed
to infrastructure-dev@...)

Ok, "approach", does that mean to send a mail to the infrastructure-dev
list, or file a JIRA issue, or...? I would propose to add the
Archived-At header according to RFC 5064
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5064
Thanks

If you'd like to propose changes to the list software, approach the
Infrastructure team. We use ezmlm.
