Maybe on the gmane or yahoo archive for the "old" Vim lists?
Having the original email saved (including the subject line), my
attempts to Google various excerpts of the exact text failed to
bring back the original message. No harm as I've reintroduced it
to teh intarwebs, but I've had little luck resurrecting such
"ancient" (gasp, 4 years old...that's a geologic age in internet
terms! :) emails despite knowing exact terms/phrases from the
message body.
I Googled for
vim oddlines evenlines
and came up with

which is your message from 2006:

But there is no sign of the posts from Benji and Tony from February
of that year, even after clicking the "show more results" link. It
does look like the history cut-off is four years plus or minus a
couple of months.

Apparently Yahoo! itself keeps its archives longer than dedicated
"history archives" keepers. Here are a few threads on that subject,
including the one Tim saved:
