It's an appallingly bad idea and needs fixing,
yes. Rewrite rule on
mail.wikipedia.org / mail.wikimedia.org ?

Example, maybe?

Sorry if I am not describing this well. But on the the wiki's if there is an html link to a post in the mailing list archive it is now broken. For example all the links on this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LSS/foundation-l-archives/2007_01_1-7
But these links are all over all the wiki's as part of different disscussions, policies, etc.

Excuse me this seems to have been fixed already. Thanks!
