Not sure.
That's a good point; I think it could very well be the reason. Unfortunately, the message-id based search at mail-archive.com (that is, the domain "mid.mail-archive.com") does *not* work with HTTPS. It is regrettable, it has always annoyed me. I've tried the same URLs via the HTTPS scheme in the past, and they've never worked. (They aren't working right now either.) Otherwise I'd have posted HTTPS links on every occasion. Thanks for raising this!
