Re: [whatwg] Mailing List Archive Link

Hello Anselm,
(slightly offtopic for whatwg technical discussions. Just to give context on how it is working)

The way it is working at W3C is along these lines (if I remember all details).

1. Message arrives at W3C
2. The message id is kept in a DB
3. The mailing-list manager sends the message to the recipients
   after creating a link with the message-id
   Example
   Archived-At : <http://www.w3.org/mid/CADnb78h8AjPcQLOCwNm0Pt3pObh6uFV5+zy0c_YU6B-u4MtY1Q@mail.gmail.com>
4. The archiving system creates the Web archive for the message (sometimes at different URIs if cross-posted)

When someone clicks on Archived-At it goes to the message-id redirection service. If only one place for the archive, it goes directly there. If archived at multiple places it goes to the intermediate page with the list of links.
