As I said in the other thread where you posted crap about me [1],
you're confusing two different and totally unrelated topics.

It's a news URL. The message-ID is the part after 'news:'.
I've asked you before if you knew what a news URL is. You dodged the
question and hence missed an opportunity to learn. So now you failed
again. There's a lesson there somewhere.
So here we go:
A news URL can have several formats. The format used here is:
<news:message-ID>
'<' and '>' are the normal URL delimiters.
'news:' indicates that it's a news (NetNews) URL, in the same vein
(sp?) as 'http:' indicates a 'web' URL.
Note that I spelled 'message-ID' with a lower case 'm', because it is
the *content* of the 'Message-ID:' header, not the name of the header.
It's less ambiguous to use '<news:MID>', but if one uses that, most
people ask "What does 'MID' mean?" and the whole thing starts over
again.
So specifically:
The header in my post is:
Message-ID: <pspvm9.7tc.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net>
From that we take the 'message-ID/MID':
<pspvm9.7tc.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net>
And now we convert the 'message-ID/MID' into a news URL by
inserting/prepending 'news:':
<news:pql56t.8k8.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net>
Which is what I gave you.

You left the 'news:' bit in.

Don't be a prat! With your attitude, there's no justification for you
to try to be funny.

Because it's a news URL, there's no need to search for it, because
your newsreader should be able to show it to you (assuming it's not
expired from your news server). Figure that, a newsreader actually
showing news articles! What *will* they think of next!? A webbrowser
showing webpages!?
Like for a web ('http:') URL, you don't search for it, you just
'execute' it. Same thing with a news URL.
In your defense, but not an excuse for dodging my question: You're not
the only one who doesn't know how handle a news URL or/and how to look
up an article with their newsreader, given a news URL.
If you're still using Dialog as your newsreader 'behind the scenes',
look in it's documenation on how to lookup/display an article via/from a
news URL or ask in news.software readers.
Moral: Despite your usual drawing first blood, I spent cinsiderable
time and effort to teach you stuff which you didn't know. Now show to
appreciate my effort.
