Existing archived messages or new messages as they are archived?
For new messages it's trivial. Just make a sitewide version of the article.html template for each supported language that includes the tracking code. See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9.
For existing archived messages there are a couple of ways. The easiest is just run "bin/arch --wipe LISTNAME" on each list after installing the edited article.html template, but this can be time consuming and have undesirable side effects if your LISTNAME.mbox files go back a long way.
The other way is to just write a script to add the tracking code to every archives/private/*/*/+([0-9]).html file.
In either case, you may then want to fix the change date of the files. See http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/update_archive_mtime for the rationale and a script to do this. In fact, you could modify that script to add the tracking code too.

Shouldn't that be "archives/private/*/*/[0-9]+\.html"?
No. What I wrote is a bash extglob, not a regular expression (note '*', not '.*'). If it were an re it might be something like "archives/private/[^/]*/[^/]*/[0-9]+\.html".
