How can I find the message id of a very old article which has long ago expired in my news feed & on the news server but which I can find on a
google search?
Google's dejanews no longer allows the original message (with headers) to
be viewed (at least forthose like me who don't have a Google account).
Howard Knight requires the message id in order to reference an article but
if you don't have that message id of the ancient article, how can you get
it?

Why don't you quit playing Secret Squirrel and tell us the name of the newsgroup and approximate time frame.
Deja is gone, it's not coming back and google sanitized everything where finding what you seek is just not going to happen.
Depending on the hierarchy and group, there might be a public or private or semi-private server where they archive the posts going back to who knows
when in an untampered format.
