9 Here's an example of a new link:
10 http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-gwn/msg_916064a3a0913217d311541108d04782.xml

12 That's going to be constant forever now, regardless of how many times

15 However, please note that any attachments linked from a mail might

17 to the mail itself.

19 If you see any problems with mails, if you see any new problems with
20 archive mails, please file a bug for Infrastructure.
