I have the precis same problem, seems like the URL is not converted right,
in my IE6 it comes up with:


mhtml:http://www.the-server.net/pipermail/fetishclub_info.mbox/ fetishclub_in
fo.mbox


Which of course is totally wrong..


In the case of my Mailman machine, for a public archive, the Apache server was returning the HTTP response header Content-Type: message/rfc822 for .mbox files.


IE6's behaviour when trying to render a .mbox file appears to be due to this header value.

This Content-Type header results from a combination of the Apache server's mime.types and magic configuration files. Change those so that Apache returned a Content-Type: text/plain header for a .mbox file and IE6 renders the .mbox as text OK.

In the case of a private archive, the $prefix/Mailman/Cgi/private.py returns a Content-Type: text/plain header which IE6 renders as text without problems.

It might be possible to adjust some IE setting to persuade it to respond more appropriately to the Content-Type: message/rfc822. But its is late and I am tired and I hate non-Open Software so I leave this as a task for the reader.

This is not a Mailman problem per se.
