Google groups. Or maybe unsubscribe then resubscribe to the group?

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.

How old? Your news server will have a limited back supply of messages. Google Groups (formerly "Deja Vu") has the archives for older stuff. You're using Mozilla, so visit the support section of

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.
