What e-mail software are you using that causes this?

If you receive the groups in digest form rather than regular-message form,
then you'll see something like this at the top of the digest message:
X-Digest-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:34-38
and near the top of each individual message:
X-Message-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:34
X-Message-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:35
X-Message-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:36
X-Message-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:37
X-Message-Archive:
http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral:38
In regular non-digest messages the X-Message-Archive header appears as well,
but you have to have the full-header display turned on to see it. Note that
the URL can't be put into the actual message, otherwise people would forget
to delete it when they replied.
