Chuq claims that the use of "expire -e N" negates the value of putting
the expiration date in the history file.  Huh??  I'm no expert on the
news software, but that makes no sense to me.  The object is to avoid
opening every news article to find the poster-specified expiration
date.  Putting that date in the history file doesn't change one bit the
algorithm for determining the actual expiration date.
