In my case that was the original URL.  I have a link on my home page for
going straight to a copied-and-pasted message ID, which works like this:

<form action="http://archives.postgresql.org/message-by-id.php"
      method="get" id="goto-message-id">
      Archived message ID <input type="text" name="q" size="60" />
</form>

It's no trouble to change the form parameters, but this method requires
URLs that look like "...?something=messageid".  I don't know if the new
site layout accepts anything like that.
