I tried                 http://www.freebsd.org/search/
clicked to              http://www.freebsd.org/search/#mailinglists
clicked to              amd64
moused in the original message ID I had quoted
                        [EMAIL PROTECTED]
& got the posting by David O'Brien

It wasn't a search by key field of Message-ID, just a search
for arbitrary text, content being the MessageID. But it worked. 
( I had vaguely assumed the search box on front of
                        http://www.freebsd.org
& search after clicking "mailing lists" on  front page, leading to
                        
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL

probably would have been unified searches,, but not so, I guess one
search comes standard with ports/mail/mailman, & the other is special
to freebsd.org site.
