That Message-Id is supposed to follow the message as it floods through USENET. Because of the way USENET floods messages, there is no guarantee that another USENET service will have that message. It might have been filtered somewhere in between or it might have expired. If I was going to reference a USENET message so that someone else could find it, I would tell them the USENET group it was in, the Subject line, the date and the Message-Id. Not much else is going to translate across USENET across servers. > > I'll ask my provider, after all I pay ;/ > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
