Prewash a bolt/ OT: Messages not available

Your news service elf will delete old messages from its files every few
weeks (differs from service to service, and NG to NG), but sometimes not
all the corresponding headers get deleted right away. It evens out
eventually (when you try to read them and get big red Xs). No overt action
needs to be taken.
