It's just a base URL + message-id of the message. (In my MUA, I can just hit a few keys and get the URL stashed to the clipboard.) The message-id based URL lets people find the message using their MUA instead of having to go to some horrendous web site. But it still lets people who prefer web sites use them. Moreover, if an archive goes down, this makes it possible to still find the message.
