More generally, IIRC the policy with W3C mailing lists is to modify the 
body of the message as little as possible.

That said since all WHATWG messages are archived at the W3C, you can 
always grab the Message-ID from a message posted here and get to its 
archive using the MID resolver:

     http://www.w3.org/mid/<the-message-id>

So for instance, your initial post can be found at:

 
http://www.w3.org/mid/EAF52201-ECAF-4F7F-839E-0585C085CD71@anselm-hannemann.com

If your mail client can be somehow scripted to take advantage of this, 
you can have it grab the MID to generate a link.
