[time-nuts] Administration: list archives weirdness

I wanted to let you know about an issue I'm seeing with Google indexing
of the time-nuts archive.
If you've ever looked at the URL for an archived message, after the list
name the format is something like "2017-March/086720.html". The number
is sequential starting with 000000 in August, 2004.
The numbers match in both the new archive at
lists.febo.com:/pipermail/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and the frozen mirror
I keep of the pre-move messages at febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts.
However many (most? all?) of the Google search hits are still on the old
archive and have somehow gotten different message numbers, incremented
by some variable amount from the proper number. That causes the Google
link to fail.
I have no idea why this happened, or if there is any way to correct it.
I am using the tricks I can to get Google to index the new archives.
But in the meantime, we'll have to deal with this error.
If anyone who understands Mailman archiving and Google indexing has a
clue about this, I would appreciate hearing it!
John
