Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: normal

http://lists.debian.org/ provides a shortcut to open messages by ID in the
browser. This works fine for most URLs but fails for message IDs with non word
characters like +/= etc.

In particular this seems to affect Googlemail users, e.g. the message

<cao6p2qqdjbcdx+0gj_s0cd0qa5isn_embckwktelp6hrcyy...@mail.gmail.com>

Results in a lookup to "CAO6P2QQdJbcdx" which does not suceed. It /does/ work to
lookup such messages through Gmane (and, additionally that message ID does
exist):

My blind guess is, lists.debian.org uses some fancy URL rewriting which does not
cope with characters supposed to be encoded in URLs.
