AFAIK, this is done by pipermail, which is the mail archiving system in Mailman 2.0.
When a message is posted to one of the forums, the pipermail program writes a copy to an html file on the server. When you search the forum archives, the search points to the relevant html files, in this case ../pipermail/general/2005-August/024019.html . So it looks like pipermail sometimes converts an "@" into "at", presumably where it thinks the code represents an email address.
