Please send me the Google Groups link to this article or a different
format. I cannot get the above link to work.


A problem is that that news: link has a special character in it which
needs to be escaped to hex before you can use it. E.g. I suspect
the link was constructed from a raw Message-ID instead of generated
by initiating a reply to it.

You have several choices. You can take the raw Message-ID
and go to Google Groups Advanced search page to do a search
based on Message-ID. Or you can replace that # character
with %23 (e.g. after using charmap to find its hex equivalent if you
weren't already familiar with that value.) Or you can do a Ctrl-Shift-F find
in here for Miyahn's post using the Subject we were also given.
Then doing a Ctrl-g with it generates this link in a reply header:



Of course if you found it using the Subject there would be no need
to access it with a news: link. Hmmm... w
