I was surprised to find it put me into thread #222507, Message #222542 (the previous message to the one you pointed me to). I just clicked on "Next" and I was right there. No need to go into Calendar or anything. Maybe it's because the very last part of your message is a PUTM auto-link - so I ended up at the "Previous" page to that one!
