Can anyone tell me how I can get access to old messages from last year for
this newsgroup? I am looking for a thread about UCOMIStream from a few
months ago. I don't have it locally and the earliest I can download directly
is for 23 December 2003.

Alternatively, can anyone help with converting a UCOMIStream to a string?

TIA

Call the Read method to fill a byte array, then use the appropriate
System.Text.Encoding class to convert it to a string.

Thanks Mattias, for both answers.

The msnews newsserver only stores messages for ~3 weeks. You can use
Google's news archive to search for the message:

<http://groups.google.com>

I always/often use Google's advanced groups search with a predefined
newsgroup:

<http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?as_ugroup=microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb>

You'll only have to enter the keywords and then press the "Google
Search" button.
