I have recently noticed that when a 'cancel' control
message is received from the network, that 2.11 news removes
the article in the /usr/spool/news directory, but it
does *not* remove the entry from the /usr/lib/news/history,
history.pag and history.dir files.  Probably a bug.

Too bad expire(8) doesn't have an option to remove a particular
article based on the message-ID.
