remove ns from my header address to reply via email

That will only work as far back as your ISP keeps the messages. That may not be as long as even you have kept them. Many only keep back a week or less.

for potential ways of doing that. Dropping and resubscribing to the group is one way, but that'll seldom give you messages from beyond 2 weeks ago.
