The list archive at nntp.perl.org doesn't turn strings which look like
URLs into links. But most mail to html converters do, so if someone puts
his own archive of this list on the web, it is only a matter of time
until a bot follows the link (I learned the hard way that the CGI script
behind a delete button should check if it is really called with POST
:-). I don't know if the key in the URL above has an expiry date,
but even if it does, there remains a window of opportunity.
