Wrong -- we used to have it, but it was removed at some point (my guess
is that this happened when the List-* headers were added). You can see
them if you download an old mbox, say
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/mbox/pgsql-bugs.2001-01.gz

there you have this header:

X-Archive-Number: 200101/30

which you can translate to

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2001-01/msg00029.php

However! Casual experimentation shows that it doesn't work all that
well -- Majordomo seems to have given the number 46 to these two
messages:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2001-01/msg00045.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2001-01/msg00046.php
and of course Mhonarc loses sync from there.

In any case, they're not useful because they're missing in at least a
year's worth of list traffic.
