Mark Sapiro reponded recently to one of my postings that the archive
page is static.  If you post something to the list, then the archive
page will be rebuilt and will have the proper hyperlinks.  I followed
Mark's advice, and my hyperlinks were corrected.  Why the hyperlink is
bad I do not know.  In my cases, it was due to different

     DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 

values when I was initially installing Mailman on my test system.
