Comment (by rhaas):

 This has been a while. Alright, let me see. You should only look at the
 .2.patch files. Ie.  Decorate.py.2.patch and HyperArch.py.2.patch. The
 other two files are older versions (and I cannot remove attachments from a
 ticket, so once the upload system adds a new version, I cannot remove the
 old one).

  Decorate.py::
 This patch is superseded by Decoreate.py.2.patch, which no longer assumes
 a {{{@}}} to be present and instead uses only {{{[A-Za-z0-9-]}}} which is
 actually too restrictive and will often fall back on just the serial
 number. Instead we should use this:
 {{{
 def get_unique_id(self):
 """return a unique ID consisting of only path-safe characters
    constructed from either the Message-ID or the sequence number"""
     retval = "%06i" % (self.sequence,)
     try:
     if self.msgid and self.msgid != 'n/a':
         retval =  re.sub('/', '_', self.msgid)
     except AttributeError:
         pass
     return retval
 }}}
 which replaces all "/" in the message id by "_" to make the ID usable as a
 file name.

  HyperArch.py (really HyperArch.py.2.patch)::
 As for {{{d['archive_url']}}}: mailman's {{{decorate}}} function (defined
 in {{{Decorate.py}}}) will add anything that the administrator specifies
 in mailman's web interface (see https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman
 /mailman-admin/node18.html). This is the proper way to integrate this
 information into mailman rather than just hard-code it into the python
 code. It's also easier to code up :-).
