There's at least one known issue with a fix written and pending
deployment when one of the admins has time to do so.  That should fix
some of the problems if not all of them.

That is expected to redirect to the msg${number}.html file if it exists,
otherwise to the raw rfc822 file *for the messages since the last
multiple-of-100 X-Seq value only*.  That's because the script's fallback
codepath doesn't know how to dynamically extract older messages from the
hectomessage ${X-Seq value mod 100}xx.tar.gz files.  Patches welcome.

The rfc822 archives are still publicly available via «rsync.zsh.org::».

The bottom line here is that we're waiting for one of the volunteer
admins to find time to handle this.  That's Phil, Oliver, and I.  Help
would be welcome.
