Note that in general for any official Apache project work we prefer to
use links to apache.org resources where possible. I.e. for board
reports and for the bulk of public websites about Apache projects, we
expect projects to use the Apache mail-archives.a.o server.
This is because our own Apache infrastructure team is responsible for
maintaining them, so we can be assured that these links will remain
present as long as the ASF is around.
This is nothing against other mail archive providers, just a general
note to ponder. I certainly like the UI at http://apache.markmail.org/
better than mail-archive.a.o for searching out messages and threads.

Best of course would be if the mailing list software would insert
a header X-Archive-URL before distributing the message that could be
copied to the clipboard.
Link to the mail-archive.com archives can be created in a similar
manner - hash the id& the list-post address (the libreoffice org
lists (the ones managed by TDF, so not the dev-list that is run by
freedesktop.org make use of that)
sample code to compute the link:
http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html#listserver
example from your post
msg-id [email protected]
list-address [email protected]
resulting hash-link:
