I subscribe to a number of mailing lists on a site that uses mailman and I would like to be able to reference in a paper a message in the archives of one of the lists. The archives are for members only but anyone can join the list.

The problem is that entering the URL for an individual message results in a login page and there is no information on that page about how to subscribe to the list. Is it possible to add a link from the log-in page for a list to the subscription page?

Secondly, after a successful login, the result is the top-level archive page for the list - the URL for the individual message has been ignored. Is it possible to fix this so the actual URL that was entered is remembered?
