Ever confirmed: true
confirming that this is on the branch also with 2000101008 builds.

I also see that the item are indeed entered properly into the global history file. So I guess

; click on the last link (Mail Archive, the: frozen mudslide). It contains an
'@', and when you press back the link stays blue. But, all the other links on
the page are marked as visited.
