Fetching Expired articles from dejanews?

Fetching Expired articles from dejanews?

[Patrick Audley]

	Is it possible, if on doing and 'A r' in the summary buffer,
to have Gnus fetch the parent article from dejanews if it has expired
on the local server?
						Thanks.

Dejanews cannot give you the article in unmangled form (they toss the
date header, for example).  Altavista can, but only goes back a few
months.  Maybe some two-stage approach.

I've sent Lars the URL needed for a
altavista-original-text-by-message-id server.
