Ahh... this is something I hadn't thought about... the tab will mess up
expire too.  This is another side effect of the messed-up message from
brentp@microsoft.  The tab in the middle of the Message-ID makes expire
think that the rest of it is the date of the message, since normally, the
Message-ID is seperated from the date by a tab.

I'm not sure what the best way to get rid of this is... maybe go into the
directories themselves and remove the message files, and then rebuild the
history file, or maybe just edit the history file...

Anyone have any better suggestions?
