Heh, ending these barbaric times is a long-term goal of this project :)

Anyways, pushed as commit 3e8a4842d3f0ec51bab024322a934b91ace6f4ed

    extmsg: use news.gmane.org for Message-ID lookups
    
    http://mid.gmane.org/ has not worked for a while, but their NNTP
    server continues to work.  Use that and perhaps give NNTP more
    exposure.
