I always wonder why we don't add a unique id to each email message itself. I mean let the mail list program to add sequencial number to each email's subject. For example, emails pgsql-jp ML (PostgreSQL general discussion in Japanese managed by JPUG) have subject headers like this: [pgsql-jp: 34814] pgpool 2.5 released By using this method our TODO list can referer emais logical id (34814 in this case) which is independent on archive URL.

One idea is to keep the old archives using the broken separator, and regenerate the good archives in some other directory, or with a different prefix (say, instead of msg0234.php have it be named mesg0234.php or msg0234.1.php, etc). That way the old URLs would continue to work, and there wouldn't be a problem if the archives need to be regenerated in the future. OTOH it would be good to have a collection of messages by Message-Id which could be used as a permalink.
