Hi Richard,

Please see RFC 5064: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5064.txt

We'll very likely support this in Mailman 3.0 and 2.2.  See also this  
discussion:

http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Stable+URLs

although the details are still in flux.  Further discussion of this  
header should probably occur on mailman-developers.

Cheers,
