Unfortunately it is correct.  For some reason the mailing list
(mailman) had stopped running and when I restarted it the old messages
all came out.

In all other cases the index is literally just the list of the URLs
that were requested when offline.  I don't really want to be putting
special cases for this rare condition.  Different indexes would need
different things anyway because the outgoing index and monitored pages
index need to contain the real URL and you would want the
'/index-display/' URL only for the indexes of pages that have been
fetched.
