Well, I guess all I am saying is that now that there are no archive URLs
being generated, e.g.

	http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-09/msg00781.php

everything is a message-id, and many message ids (e.g. Google) have
characters that cause problems for the wiki, e.g. '='.  

I can encode '=', but there might be other characters, and other people
might not know to do that.  Also, when you don't encode '=', you don't
get any feedback that there is a problem --- that link URL just
disappears from the wiki, and not just the URL disappears but all links
and any secondary text for the item.

What I can do it cleanup what is there and try to encode '=', but I
hardly see that as a long-term solution.
