I've been playing with this a bit and I've set up an experimental script.
Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.
http://archives.postgresql.org/msgtxt.php?id=MESSAGE-ID

For example, this message is at:
http://archives.postgresql.org/msgtxt(dot)php?id=8797(dot)1242906435(at)sss(dot)pgh(dot)pa(dot)us

The archives are now regenerating, which will take a couple of hours, to add
a "text/plain" link at the right of the Message-Id line on the headers that
will take you to this unadorned text copy.

Note that I haven't set up an automatic run of the script that creates the
text/plain copies yet, so this will only work for messages on pgsql-hackers
that were posted before now. I'll work on that later.

Keep in mind that this is all experimental, so don't be surprised if things
break horribly (but report them back).
