Noob query about relating newsgroup reference id to http location


I know this is not much programming related, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me on how to (if possible) a newsgroup reference id to a webpage.

Say, If the reference id of the newsgroup message is

<b6c92e67-0bbd-4dd1-be22-4357373fd19a@q35g2000vbi.googlegroups.com>

How do go to http page containing the post.


Solution

  • Message-Ids don't have anything to do with web pages or URLs. They are generated as a unique identifier for each post.

    You can search for them with Google, of course, Google's Groups Search gives results.
