For additional elaboration, here is a sample of one of the forms from the 
list page:

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/popview1/popview.py"><input 
type="image" src="/icons/generic.gif" border="0" name="detail"><input 
type="hidden" name="msgnum" value="2"><input type="hidden" 
name="__albform__" 
value="eJwL5XC/zO23v5j3efSGTJVF/bWFjBqhbLnF6XmluYVM3gyhbCmpJYmZOYXM3gylegCN

">
<input type="hidden" name="__albstate__"
