    It depends on how old the article is. Some Usenet providers go back to
    ~2003 and archive.org goes from the 80s's-90's to around 2003. If you know
    the sender, the group, and something like the subject line, you may be
    able to find the original article.

    You can't anymore because of that:

    Google's dejanews no longer allows the original message (with headers) to
    be viewed
