   I can search messages using grep on the files stored under   
   "/var/spool/news/comp/mobile/android/", which currently contains   
   291,776,554 B in 91514 files. I would use Midnight Commander to do it,   
   but it is a very slow operation. And it would have many false positives   
   in this case. Thousands (I tried).   
      
   Once (if) I find the message, I obtain the message-id, and can quickly   
   find the same message in TB.
