Hi!

STANDARDS in iconv.3 reads:
	This is due to an unfortunate historical mistake, documented in
	.Lk https://www5.opengroup.org/sophocles2/show_mail.tpl?&source=3DL&listna=
me=3Daustin-group-l&id=3D7404 "this e-mail".

However, that link points to a "Open Professions System Migration" page,
which is entirely useless. However, that link contains the mail ID:
7404.

If you're an Open Group and Austin Group member (which you can be if you
spend fifteen minutes), the new Official Open Group Archive link is
	https://collaboration.opengroup.org/austin/plato/mailarch.php?soph=3DN&act=
ion=3Dshow&archive=3Daustin-group-l&num=3D7404&limit=3D50&offset=3D0&sid=3D=
61190fdd043fb

I'll dump the entirety as vaguely-RFC-822 in the attachment.

However, that link is only available to members, and it's mighty
annoying (and not a good list, I found two separate HTML injections
with the first mail I sent, by accident).

The Austin Group website points at another official archive at
mail-archive.org, but that only goes back to
Mon, 16 Dec 2019 08:17:18 -0800.

I'd recommend replacing the Sophocles link with the Work Area one at
the very least, with a note that it's members-only, or linking to both
it and https://marc.info/?l=3Dnetbsd-tech-userlevel&m=3D110019726222841,
which is referenced in the commit log for iconv.3 (that mail also has
Sophocles links, but as a reference only and manages to stand alone).

Best,
