Oops. I accidentally removed write permission on the history file by
running expire as root (stupid thing to do, it was late and...)

Now I have a slew of duplicate articles, and I am wondering how to get
rid of them. What will happen if I try to rebuild the history file
with mkhistory - will the duplicate message id's screw up the database?

Any advice on how to expire these articles?
