I'm not Drew, but...

The From line claims it was sent by "blog at common-lisp.net" and most Mailman 
lists on cl.net are auto-configured to let mail from non-subscribers with an 
@common-lisp.net mail address through without moderation.

Unfortunately, I don't know a clean way to delete parts of a Mailman list 
archive. Short-term, just deleting the file MAY do the trick (and may well 
serve to confuse Mailman completely, so try this on a hot spare...). The fiel 
in question is:
  /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/gsll-devel/2008-March/000023.html
