Newsgrouper's source is Eternal September which currently does not have
older articles due to some technical issues.
So currently I assume you will not find anything older there.

 
p.s.
 
that oldest message-id <bdqnl9.2ag.1@ID-66775.user.dfncis.de> copied
from the "blueworld" server (dated 2003/07/01, twenty-one years ago)
was found in https://newsgrouper.org.uk/news.software.readers/search
by searching for the article subject "let's start a xananews thread":

Yes, I had switched the "Find Articles" search to use blueworldhosting,
which has around 20 years of history.  I have now switched the message-id
search to use this as well, and it now does find the examples you gave.

Thanks for your encouraging comments!
