Hmm, I'm not very much versed in HTML either.

What I did was create a "smart bookmark" in my browser that allows me to
paste the message-id and then select "Pgsql Message by ID" from a
dropdown list of actions (other actions being search in Google,
search.postgresql.org, Merriam-Webster, etc).  Would that work for you?

Another way could be to create a small program that takes
http://sss.pgh.pa.us/[email protected] and redirects to
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/[email protected]

Maybe there are better ways.
