Or you can do it by Message-ID (useful for articles that have expired
from the server you're currently reading):


(defun fetch-message-from-dejanews (message-id)

  (interactive "sMessage-Id: ")

  (let ((gnus-article-buffer w3-last-buffer)
        (inhibit-read-only t))
    (gnus-article-highlight)))

(defun fetch-message-from-nntp (message-id)
  (interactive "sMessage-Id: ")
  ;; can use either `gnus-request-article' or `nntp-request-article' here...
  (and (nntp-request-article (concat "<" message-id ">"))
       (eval-and-compile
         (condition-case nil (mapcar 'require '(url url-news)) (error nil)))
       (url-format-news)))

(defun fetch-message-intelligently (message-id)
  "Fetch MESSAGE-ID."
  (interactive "sMessage-Id: ")
  (save-excursion
    (or (fetch-message-from-nntp message-id)
        (fetch-message-from-dejanews message-id))))
