No.  Here is the contents of the index.html:

Here are the permissions of the faulty list:

drwxrwsr-x  2 list list  4096 Feb  3 18:56 2006-February
-rw-rw-r--  1 list list   213 Feb  3 18:56 2006-February.txt
-rw-rw-r--  1 list list   217 Feb  4 03:27 2006-February.txt.gz

here are the permissions of a fully functional list:
