Yes, I am sure. But first, read on. Here's the archive I referred
to:

  https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/

> http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/redhat-devel-list/msg09996.html

Here's the same message using the different web interface:

  https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/private/redhat-devel-list/2003-January/005096.html

Same for the archive of *this* list, here:

  https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/

Even in the downloadable gzip'ped monthly archives, the addresses
have been replaced.

However, the second archive you refer to seems to be a copy of
all original messages and a paradise for address harvesters:

  http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/

It's the old "Red Hat Mailing List Archives" page which is
hopelessly out-of-date, but still linked at the bottom of:
http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ 

Seems, somebody at Red Hat doesn't like to improve that, probably
because it is considered competition for their commercial support.
None of the more recent mailing-lists are listed there
(valhalla-list, psyche-list, phoebe-list).

It would be so easy to replace the link on the support page
with: https://listman.redhat.com/

And *lol*, as a result of a second world-readable archive of
redhat-devel-list being available, protecting the MailMan
redhat-devel-list archive with subscription password doesn't make
any sense at all:

  https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
  (The current archive is only available to the list members.)
