That is, it lacks the group name before the hash sign. Correct would
have been:
gnus:nnml+archive:test01#e18xcfu-0004ht...@fencepost.gnu.org
I am not a gnus user, so my comments may be irrelevant due to my
ignorance. In that case I am sorry.
Is nnselect a real NNTP group or is it some instance existing solely in
user's configuration? Does gnus have global Message-ID index?
Generally news group is not necessary to specify a message on a NNTP
server, it may be retrieved by Message-ID only. The name of the news
group is mandatory if *article number* is used.
(info "(url) news/nntp/snews") or <info:url#news/nntp/snews> or
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/url/news_002fnntp_002fsnews.html
I am curious whether namely "gnus" links have to be used or it is
possible to rely on more generic "news:"/"nntp:"; links, or even
<mid:e18xcfu-0004ht...@fencepost.gnu.org> (perhaps with some
`browse-url' configuration)? It should improve portability.
