Following References header in RN

     I have just recently installed Larry Wall's "rn" news reader.
I think this is a great piece of work.  I'm particularly impressed
by the ability to follow discussions by threading through the
Subject header lines.

     One thing I miss from vnews, though, is the ability to page
back through the References header.  I know I can use control-P to
back up according to the subject line, but sometimes the subject
has been modified, or the original article was posted to another
group.  Is there any way to pull up an article according to the
message-id?

     Please reply via e-mail, as I don't want to clutter net with
3 billion responses.  Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
