Indeed, we should now replace that link with: - https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/info.html - https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ as the "alternative archive".

(It was also what taught me to capture Message-ID-based links to archived messages. Message-IDs outlive websites.)
