Deleting old news

Hi,

I am trying to reduce the size of my news.dat file. I have tried
expire -o followed by rebuild -s. This has been partially successful.
However, there still remains some very old news articles in news.dat
from news groups that I no longer subscribe to.

I think that the problem may be that I have removed these news
groups without expiring the articles.

Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Regards

Clive
