Bug Description

lists.launchpad.net does not show the privacy banner when users look at messages to the private team's list. The MHonArc generated pages make no distinction between public and private messages.

At the time of this report, lists cannot change from public to private and vise versa. It is possible that the privste teams could have different template rules. This bug could be implicitly closed if Lp presented the archive messages on lp.net under the private team's namespace.

We prefer to change mailing lists archives to a micro service, which implicitly fixes this issue.

We want the Lp webapp to server the month indexes, month index, thread index, and message views. The automatically applies the team's privacy rules. This fixes header and footer links in pages. This permits the content to be linked to team members, bugs, etc....

Users will not be able to access the micro service data, lists.launchpad.net will probable redirect to the team page on the webapp. the web app will request the index and message data from the service, parse it for linkable objects, then format the data as a page.

See https://lists.launchpad.net/launchpad-dev/msg08347.html for detail about the proposal.
