The regexp used is this:
_re_mail =
re.compile(r'(/m(essage-id)?/)?[^()<>@,;:\/\s"\'&|]+(at)[^()<>@,;:\/\s"\'&|]+')

Per:
https://github.com/postgres/pgarchives/blob/master/django/archives/mailarchives/templatetags/pgfilters.py#L31

The comment indicates it's trying to special case these links already, but
clearly it's failing. I think maybe because it's not considering the /flat/
part of the URL. I haven't got time to test it out properly right this
moment, but I think that might be it.
