Flat view.

This:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CABUevEw_kEPdKFqAgFJDtwxjbbNq+bcpWrTV0ekF9ei8SdcEGg@mail.gmail.com

auto-redirects to:


http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CABUevEw_kEPdKFqAgFJDtwxjbbNq+bcpWrTV0ekF9ei8SdcEGg@mail.gmail.com#CABUevEw_kEPdKFqAgFJDtwxjbbNq+bcpWrTV0ekF9ei8SdcEGg@mail.gmail.com

What I'd like (and Robert, iiuc) is for the link to the first message in
the flat view not to have the # and to not redirect to the one with the
# when it's not there.

Make sense?

Thanks!
