And my responses at
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2014-December/078191.html>
and
<https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2014-December/078193.html>
still hold. Read the whole thread.

Note, this is quite doable in Mailman 3 as MM 3 messages contain an
Archived-At: header with a link to the archived message (this is not
possible to do in Mailman 2.1 for various technical reasons). You mite
consider submitting a feature request for this at
<https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues>.

This is still tricky for 'plain' digests as by definition they don't
contain html and things like

<a
href="https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/HQGWIKZIU6CLTO6TZAXKWB2PE7ZFTIYJ/">lists.mailman3.org
web site. (Mark Sapiro)</a>

render like that and not as an active

lists.mailman3.org web site. (Mark Sapiro)

link. and things like

lists.mailman3.org web site. (Mark Sapiro)
<https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/message/HQGWIKZIU6CLTO6TZAXKWB2PE7ZFTIYJ/>

look ugly even if the MUA renders the URL as an active link.

OTOH, in a MIME format digest, the TOC could be a text/html part which
would work.
