From that Message-ID, I was able to find the link to the desired article.

that certainly works . . .

https://www.novabbs.com/computers/article-flat.php?id=l5vtkvFduucU1@mid.individual.net

if message id could work with this put.hk format, then numerous other
servers could share the load . . . experts might know how to do this?

http://put.hk/article/news.i2pn2.org/news.admin.peering/1876.html

for example . . .

(using Tor Browser 13.0.12)
http://put.hk/reader.jsp?server=paganini.bofh.team&btnsubmit=Go
