Inspired by this message, earlier this afternoon I experimented
with the slist configuration to add the message URL to the footer
that is connected to the end of messages. As you say, it is a
very ugly and long URL but it does put it there where you can see
it while reading the message instead of going digging in the
headers.    (03)

One caveat: the email archives are updated as much as 10 minutes
after delivery time so following the link immediately after you
receive the message will sometimes not work.    (04)

I hope this is of some help. We can see. It was a very simple
change that can be adjusted or removed as we experiment with it.    (05)

Baby steps.    (06)
