If you go to the the /mailman/listinfo page for the list you will find the 
link to the list's archives; now being a private archive, the URI will be 
of the form /mailman/private/<listanme>.

Private archive contents are delivered by one of Mailman's CGI scripts, 
called private.py, which is what enforces the list archives privacy.

In practice a public archive is just a private arhcive which has a link to 
it in $prefix/archive/public/. This latter directory is the one that has 
the /pipermail/ alias pointing to it in your web server's httpd.conf. The 
actual archives are always in $prefix/archives/private/<listname>
