Gmail - Find Thread in Google Groups
Search for Google Group thread.
I'm
all the time wishing I could point someone at a thread in the group
web, but using gmail to find the subject and date.
This script has barely been tested, but works for me.
When viewing a thread in GMail, it'll add a "Find GGroup Thread" link under
"Forward all" on the right side of the gmail window.
Click that, and it should open a tab w/ any msgs in the current
thread's ggroup based on the thread's
subject.
(Alas, I didn't see an advanced search option to limit results to just
subjects and dates.)

Wow! I was planning to write this very same script since a couple of months (although I also wanted a GM specific version for finding the 'old' posts in the GM archive at mozdev.org). Great that someone else has bothered to do it for me! ;-)
Unfortunately it only works if you use GMail in English, which is not my case. I've noticed that changes in the GMail UI are always first introduced into the English UI, and then progressively for the rest of languages. If I am not wrong, every GMail script file carries a version number that could be checked in the GM script to see whether it is compatible with the UI version in use, or to enable version/language specific features.
