Unfortunately, the old URLs aren’t really permanent. Hypermail calculated them sequentially and if you rebuild the archive from the source-of-truth mbox files, there’s no way to guarantee the original sequence (for various reasons including removal of messages for spam/legal/request purposes, corruption in the mbox files, etc.). In fact, lists on python.org *have* had their archives rebuilt and *have* gotten reshuffled, breaking existing links. The new URLs are guaranteed to be reproducible from the original message source. The downside is that they are less friendly. -Barry
