That's not the same server side processing as in
  https://lists.debian.org/ZEyj9UUSAx+/YbG/@tuxteam.de
Your URL submits a query where "+" and "/" are escaped.
Byung-Hee HWANG's URL uses "+" and "/" in the path component.

I wonder from where Byung-Hee HWANG got this shortcut URL pattern, which
indeed works with most messages.

Whatever, the List-Archive header in the resent mails of debian-user gives
bad URLs too. In my mailbox i find as example:

  List-Archive: 
https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/ZGCyEDFmig/oy...@eskimo.com

which does not lead to its intended target
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/05/msg00582.html

To https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/04/msg01201.html

But other than with most archived messages, the (HTML-based) line
  In-reply-to: <ZEyj9UUSAx+/YbG/@tuxteam.de> (to...@tuxteam.de's message of 
"Sat, 29 Apr 2023 06:58:29 +0200")
in the archive page of the follow-up message
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/04/msg01203.html
is not a link to msg01201.html.

So yes, the archive can lookup the message by its id and there is a URL
which represents that message, but the web pages of other messages handle
this message id not like other more URL-friendly ones and two kinds of
shortcut URLs don't work, of which one is published by the list's mail
sender.


Have a nice day :)
