I see `gnus-group-read-group' with first arg N/-N
will fech the newest/oldest abs(N) articles.
This is somehow similar than what `debbugs-gnu-bugs' does:
-N: show the newest abs(N) bugs.
N: show the bug #N.
N-M: show the bugs N, N+1, ..., M-1, M.
Would be possible to accept ranges in `gnus-group-read-group'
as well?
I ask this because i am trying to read one article from
2008, more or less in the middle, so that neither N nor -N
help to catch my target article: in both cases abs(N)
need to be a large integer.
Is there a better way to download a particular
article than just using `gnus-group-read-group'? I am
still a newbie in gnus.
Tino
Thank you.

Enter the group and use j (gnus-summary-goto-article).

Thank you! That's a big improve. I can get search the article
from
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/
and obtain the date it was submitted. I don't know how to get
the ID or message ID, so i am downloading articles submitted around
same day.
Without having the ID of the article, a gnus function filtering by
subject would be save lot of time.

I realized that i can obtain the message id from the source.
For instance,
view-source:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-10/msg00150.html
it shows the source of the first message in this thread. The message ID
appears above in the header.
I still believe a function filtering by subject may be useful in some
cases.
