What the others said about Message-IDs and public-inbox :)
If you only have old URLs pointing to gmane and no NNTP access,
you can also search for "gmane:$ARTICLE_NUMBER" via public-inbox
(at least up to messages around this summer):
https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:12345
https://public-inbox.org/git/_/text/help documents other
search prefixes you can use, too.
