Look at this URL.  It's all wrong, yet it works:

http://graphics.openoffice.org/project/www/www-discuss/current/msg00105.html

www-discuss in the *graphics" project??  Michelle found it like so (see below - 
it almost sounds like the discuss archive was getting written to the wrong 
place for awhile?  I know that makes no sense...)

Kat, can you dig around a little and tell us what happened?

Hi,

I found this message

http://graphics.openoffice.org/project/www/www-discuss/current/msg00105.html

Problem 1:
It is dated Oct 13.  When I go to the index for Oct 13, I don't find any mails
from this guy.  Am I crazy?

Problem 2:
When I click on Date Index, it takes me to January.

Wait, New problem.  Why is the url in Graphics?  This is a discuss mail.  I
found this by searching for shakespeare and then following the thread.

mystery.

Stop the presses.  I think i understand.

for a clue, see:

http://porting.openoffice.org/project/www/www-discuss/current/msg00105.html
http://l10n.openoffice.org/project/www/www-
http://openoffice.org/project/www/www-discuss/current/msg00105.html

and to drive my point home:

http://l10n.openoffice.org/project/porting/porting-dev/current/msg00105.html

etc.  See, they all work.  It seems that the server doesn't care about making 
sure these are "well formed" strings.  It has something to do with the vhosting 
mechninism; that which makes http://porting.openoffice.org point to 
http://openoffice.org/project/porting

Anyway, michelle, you've just found an odd artifact of the way vhosting 
interacts with mail archive URLs, but nothing is "wrong" as far as i can tell.

I shouldn't say "fixed"...
Comment 3 Unknown 2001-06-07 19:50:33 UTC 
I"m going to resoved it as "wontfix", since the behavior is going to remain 
unchanged and while a bit confusing, i don't think it's worth assigning 
resources to fix (since nothing is really "broken")
Comment 4 Unknown 2001-06-07 19:52:27 UTC 
This does not explain why clicking on Date index for an October mail takes me to
an index page with January mails.
:(
