One thing that has always bugged me (ever so slightly) is that URLs
like this:

  http://unagi.mail-archive.com:8080/[email protected]/msg00001.html

...get mangled by the Email address hiding logic.

I know, strictly speaking that is not even a legal URL until I replace
"@" by "%40".  But most links to the mail-archive (e.g., those at
http://unagi.mail-archive.com:8080/lists.html) use the unencoded @, as
do Google search results...  So I usually cannot just cut&paste
mail-archive URLs into messages and have them work in the archive
itself.

I suppose one could argue whether this is a bug or a feature.
