How complicated would be making gnus fetchnig old posts via google?

Some post include references to old articles via news:message-id, once I
"received" usenet reply to 2 years old post :-)

Unfortunately you need a Gnus version from CVS for this to work with
the new Google Groups.  Both, the development version (No Gnus: trunk)
and stable branch (v5-10) support Google.  The Gnus version included
in the upcoming Emacs 22 release will also include it.
