What to do??
Fortunately, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ provides a Web archive to these lists with the ability to query based on message-id. The following procmail script will add a header and signature containing a URL of the message:
################################################################### ######## # insert X-Archived-At header into messages from Wikimedia lists # :0fwh will append the "Archived at" at the beginning of the # message :0 * ^List-Id: .*Wiki[mp]edia.org { MID=`formail -xMessage-Id | tr -d '<' | tr -d '>' | tr -d ' '` URL="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?i=<${MID}>" :0fw | (formail -I"X-Archived-At: ${URL}>"; echo "Archived at: ${URL}") }
Unfortunately, the URL contains the excluded character delimiters '<' and '>' meaning it is not a valid URL and won't be automatically clickable in some applications such as KMail.
