Good to know and thanks for the data point.

Yes, it's probably unsuitable... There really ought to be a way
to fallback to static content.
The static fallback is important if caching solutions (e.g.
varnish) aren't available. Also, the WwwListing didn't exist
initially since I figured webmasters might want a custom
index.html anyways.
Most of the endpoints end with "/" (e.g. /T/ or /t/), so they're
even easy-to-mirror/fallback with only static webserver
functions. An admin running without varnish can quickly put up
an index.html for any msgid and serve the static content if a
/$MSGID/, /$MSGID/t/, /$MSGID/T/, /$MSGID/t.mbox.gz endpoint
gets overloaded.
They could even script something to auto-refresh those static
endpoints periodically (but I guess it's much easier to just run
varnish :>)
There might also be other stuff (robots.txt, .well-known/)
