Sure there is: the Archived-At header. The W3C's mailing list software
helpfully adds it to every email it sends out. For instance, your email
that I'm replying to right now has this header:

Archived-At: <http://www.w3.org/mid/CAMCRKi+uMMCghEdFBS81+4_9QYYrh5sFK9w3U8+YgKvCN9E71Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hopefully your email client allows you to configure which headers are
visible; in Gnus, this is controlled by the variable
`gnus-visible-headers'.
