Not that MHonArc creates. :-)

Sorry, I wasn't clear.  I meant people posting "there is a possibly
related post at http://list-archive/xemacs-beta/2010/04/0000001.html."
Adrian points out that such links also exist on the website.

As far as I'm concerned, since Adrian has indicated that he wants to
track down such links on the website, we need to at least think about
dealing with this issue.

I *think* that I've preserved all mbox files, so probably we can just
do something like 

egrep -i ^(From FORMAT MATCHING TUX From_|Message-ID:) mbox.YYYYMM

and win 99% of the time without reconstructing the archives in full.

What do you think, Adrian?
