  I see that you've found the article, but for future use, see my "[OT]
How to use a 'news:' URL." response in this thread.

Go to Edit/Find/search messages, select "message-ID", then enter
the MID, and tick "run search on server" (an option I did not see years
before), then it does the search fast enough (my server is local).

<news:pql56t.8k8.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net>

Adjust, leave delimiters on the outside.

    <pql56t.8k8.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net>

Go to this website, and paste the modified string here.

This avoids details about your newsreader, to be doing it
on the web.

Another way to do it:

Enter this URL in Seamonkey browser (which is a suite and
includes a news reader).

news://news.aioe.org:119/pql56t.8k8.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net

That syntax would work in Thunderbird... if we could figure
out a way to enter a URL :-) I haven't figured out where that
is hiding on TBird.

Maybe you could call TBird from the command line and do it
or something.

  This *used* to work 'in' Thunderbird as well, but - as I mentioned in
another response -, currently Thunderbird seems (is?) broken and
probably has been broken for years. (The last time I checked (and
documented) this was in June 2008.)

  I say 'in' (Thunderbird), because you couldn't *enter* such a URL in
TB, because it doesn't have a box to enter it in.

  The 'trick' was to enter the URL into your (web)*browser*, i.e. mostly
IE and then IE would know that it should pass the URL to TB, which would
then execute it and - in this case - show the article.

  The News server part of the URL was not needed, because it would
default to whichever server was configured in TB, i.e. just

news:pql56t.8k8.1@ID-201911.user.individual.net

exactly like in my first post about this.

  But - as I said -, currently 'news:' URLs don't work anymore in TB, at
least not for me, also not after several hours Googling numerous
dead-ends.

  The only - totally useless - part which I now have 'working' (on
Windows 8.1) is that if I enter a 'news:' URL - *any*  'news:' URL, also
a wrong one - in Chrome (the browser), Chrome will start Thunderbird (if
it wasn't already running). But it does not even go to the News part of
TB, let alone that it executes any specific part of the URL, i.e. for
the above example, it does *not* open/show the desired article.

  Did I already mention "totall useless"!? I probably did. Sigh!

You have to enter the messageid in "search messages" (ctrl-shift-F)
instead (it works fast, there is probably an index). I don't know if
there is a way to call this from outside.

I tried on another machine, and there I had to Customize the search
field and add another header, Message-Id. And it worked.
