It worked.
<https://usenet.id/[email protected]>

The problem with the message-id approach, at least that one, is that it
doesn't give the rest of the thread. It only gives us the opening post.

Let's compare with <http://al.howardknight.net/>
Drat. "HTTP Error 503.0 - Service Temporarily Unavailable"

Let's compare then with <https://newsgrouper.org/>

Drat. It doesn't show the whole thread either.

<https://newsgrouper.org/%[email protected]%3Emv>

Let's see if we can find the thread using any of these links:

Starting with <https://tinyurl.com/pug-comp-mobile-android>
which translates to <https://i2pn2.pugleaf.net/groups/comp.mobile.android> Drat. "can't reach this page"

Let's try <https://newsgrouper.org/comp.mobile.android> by searching for
" How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers "
Bingo! This gives us the entire thread.
<https://newsgrouper.org/comp.mobile.android/search/1755829405>

Now let's try <https://comp.mobile.android.narkive.com/>
Drat. "503 Service Unavailable"

<https://www.novabbs.com/tech/thread.php?group=comp.mobile.android>
Results in "404 Page not found."

And, of course, Google groups search died before that thread authored.

Unless there's some other mechanism, that's all I know of.
Anyone know more than what is in the test I just ran above today?

Please let the rest of us know so we all benefit from your knowledge.

Unfortunately, al.howardknight.net is, to all intents and purposes,
dead. It hasn't been usable since last October. :-(
