I know it's hardly probable that I'll need it. I'm talking more about a
situation
when I want to access particular  messages posted a few days ago (but
there were no new posts in that particular thread so the thread won't
be visible so I'll have to browse for it) Or is there a better way of 
accomplishing it?
