The attached patch partly reverts https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/48033d90c61d#l2.126 since it breaks building doc archives for RC versions:

• https://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2014-September/020211.html
• https://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2014-September/020214.html
• https://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2014-September/020215.html

See https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/ecfb6f8a7bcf for the original changeset.

This problem is currently resulting in 404's for 3.4.2rc1 documention downloads, e.g. the links on:
