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 <

Xananews, on the other hand, looks and feels like a winner. I'm
sticking with Xnews for the time being but I think that Xananews may
well become my newsreader of choice. (I'll not commit myself until it
lets me set up separate folders to allow me to gather various
subscribed newsgroups under generic headings - one of the things that
Xnews does really well.)

[end quoted plain text]it seems certain that google isn't about to let go of their dejanews
cash cow any time soon, so this type of web interface "piggybacking"
on popular open newsservers could become more of a trend, as perhaps
more newsservers and similar "web2news" sites may share the increase
in user demand for such convenience in the wake of google's farewell
smartphone users, and less tech-savvy, are especially hamstrung from
usenet participation . . . the novabbs "rocksolid light" works great
but is limited to select newsgroups; whereas these major newsservers
include tens of thousands of newsgroups, this is sure to get noticed
