Aleksei: no, mail-archive.com is a public mailing list archive, it does not require subscription.

After the demise of GMANE, I started using references to mail-archive.com because similarly to GMANE, it also provides lookup by Message-Id -- regardless of the specific mailing list(s) that the message in question was posted to. (The only requirement is that mail-archive.com be subscribed to at least one of the lists that the message was sent to.) The URL format is

  http://mid.mail-archive.com/<Message-Id>

The trick is that such URLs can be constructed, on the email sender's side, ahead of mail-archive.com picking up the message (from at least one mailing list) and indexing it. The URL can be constructed without any delay because the sender knows the Message-Id of the message they just sent. Initially the link will appear dead, but after a while it will start working.

So using these links I can just send the email, generate the link right after, and forget about it, regardless of how slow or fast the archive is that day.
