I could retrieve ANY message I wanted with that number, my problem was
that it looked like I started a new thread for a 6 months old when I
wanted to follow up on it (Seems like that's not trully possible once the
message is from a different month).
To me Igor is right as what he suggested worked with any message I wanted
to get.
