Looking in what might be viewed as the canonical place I saw:
,----[ Header of list mail ]
List-Archive: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users>
`----
You would have one look at a FAQ Wizard after seeing the specific
unqualified assertion above? Last time I looked, the Mailman FAQs
1.11 and 1.18 recommend Gmane along with Mail-archive while 1.11 notes
that the latter runs Google ads. If you are so proud of the
Mail-archive archive, why not include it in the List-Archive: header
field? (It will take a comma separated list, no?)

Perhaps it is lost on those who are not accustomed to it, but reading
current or archived mail as if it were news is vastly more convenient
than reading mail through a web interface, IMHO.
