Just saw that they changed their search URI (and broken the old one in the
process, so much for competence), so use:

javascript:window.location="http://groups.google.com/groups/search?hl=en&as_umsgid="+"%s".replace(/^<(news:)?|

Unlikely. Try with <http://mnenhy.mozdev.org/> or, to be even more on-
topic (Mnenhy is probably written in JavaScript), the following bookmarklet
(remove the "news:" from the parameter or change the code):

javascript:window.location="http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&as_umsgid="+"%s".replace(/^<(news:)?|
>$/g,"")

That is getting all fouled up in TB, as well as GG. I tried to piece it
back together, but kept getting Google server errors. Can you just post
a GG (http) link?

Pasting the news: link into Chrome opened a new TB instance, popped up
an empty Identity dialog (which I canceled) and then did nothing. I
give up. :)
