If it's an ancient thread, it's not a big deal to just start a new
thread (especially if you reference the old one in the text so people
can dig it up if they really care).

But for reference, you can add `/raw` to the end of a gmane article URL
to get all the headers. E.g.:

  $ gmane=http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git
  $ curl -s $gmane/271213/raw | grep -i ^message-id:
  Message-ID: <CAAKF_ub5c+2vVmG161O6gnUUeEcNfDUMU=mtn+k0T8bC-9ZHPw@mail.gmail.com>
