If the suggestion is that the messages in question were
in fact relayed out to the subscribers at that time (as
opposed to never making it past the server / moderator),
then yes, subscribers copies are quite likely to still
exist in such places or better. And many here are surely
able to check or put in some calls. Myself will at least try.
