Ugh. So we still have examples left of where google indexed pages that
should have never been let outside of a robots.txt realm in thef irst
place :( We had multiple parts of the archives indexed multiple times
around.
But no, it's not the first link you get. You get a link to
archives.postgresql.org, that then redirects there... (with googles
fucked up javascript-only redirection, not an actual http redirection
even.. But I guess they have to track you properly..)
Anyway. Since it's clearly out there, I've fixed the redirect rules
for it. Will deploy shortly.

That one is also suffering from the escaping-of-messageid's issue.
That's double-unpretty :)
