Another option would be to teach the URL shortener about our messages

can be for example http://postgr.es/p/3Dl), so much shorter. To post one
people would have to go to a webform and paste in the messageid or
existing URL though -- or we could put a link on the page in the archives.

It would make the URLs actually short, but as mentioned upthread, that
wouldn't work at all if offline. So it'd be a tradeoff between those,
but so are pretty much all other options that don't include the full
message-id.

Would it be possible to stick that surrogate key into outgoing list messages as an X- header?
