Last time I tried that, it left the messages in
/var/spool/news/message.id/nnn (obviously enough), but, since they were no
longer linked to in the groups, texpire never unlinked them. This meant that
they stayed around pretty much forever. Unless texpire has been changed
(anyone?), a better option would be to add a zero day expiry timer for the
group in the config file, and run texpire manually.
