What the others said about Message-IDs and public-inbox :) If you only have old URLs pointing to gmane and no NNTP access, you can also search for "gmane:$ARTICLE_NUMBER" via public-inbox (at least up to messages around this summer): https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:12345 https://public-inbox.org/git/_/text/help documents other search prefixes you can use, too.
