I know it's easy to tell other people what to do, but... if you had blanked out the body of the message instead of removing it, would that have avoided all the URLs changing?

URLs should be permanent, particularly to archives. As Frederik's situation points out, this could be really confusing or even dangerous.

When I search for something in Google now, I will find a mailing list post, wen when I click on the link, I see something else. Go back, click on cached, and see the real thing. See e.g. this article from 2007 in which another article is referenced: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2007-March/000179.html however if you click on the link you are led to a completely different article than the one the link was pointing to originally! Somebody probably asked us to remove something - that requires a rebuild of the archive. Specifically in this case I think Richard had forwarded an email sent to the list owner to the list, and the author of the email objected and asked for it to be removed. Can it be fixed? Nope.
