>Description:
Navigating from the current week's archive of any list to the
		last messages sent at the end of the previous week requires
		too much clicking and scrolling.

>How-To-Repeat:
>From http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/current/freebsd-doc.html
		(sorted by date or reverse date) navigate to the message in
		the archive which is the most recent from the previous week.

>Fix:
Provide a 'Previous week' link on the [UP][Home] etc. lines.
		mailindex.cgi would need to generate a URL like this:
		http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2004/freebsd-doc/20041031.freebsd-doc.html
		and then make a link to it.
