   You don't have to use news.your-net.com.   
   The same message can be found on Google groups.   
   Just feed the message-ID part of this 'news:' URL into Google groups advanced   
   search   
      
      news://news.your-net.com:119/dm1vmf01fq@enews1.newsguy.com   
                                                                          
      ^^^^^         protocol

                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
                                   For news: URLs, this part is    
                                   either a newsgroup name or a   
                                   message-ID.   
                                   If it contains a @ it is a MID,   
                                   if not it is a newsgroup name.
