Somewhere at the bottom :)  Replication of the nav links is good since
a person does not have to scroll back to the top when they reach the
end of the page.

You can replicate the "framing" design at the top (excluding the mail
archive logo and list name) on the bottom and replicate the nav links
withing the grey area.

Another semi-related suggestion is to define <link> tags defining
relationships that some browser recognize and provide built-in navigational
buttons for: <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links>.
Useful ones would be "next", "prev", "contents", "index".
