Url rewriting

That would mean supporting that forever including the overhead in contrast to the "SED modify the archive" approach is a one shot or so deal.

Na.  I don't think so.  Text processing seems to be one (of the many)
thing(s) that Unix, et al., excel at.  So I think it's probably natural
for anyone well versed in Unix ... to think "RegEx"!

I think we're thinking about two different layers of actions.  Both
using their own form of RegEx like behavior.

It sounds like you're talking about processing / munging an mbox mail
archive.

I'm thinking about URL re-writing in the web server, be it on the fly or
static configuration (for fixed list of old URLs).
