Wolfgang asked for a way other than a manual deletion.  Yes, editing the 
history file by hand and then running "makedbz" or "makehistory -O" will 
also work.  It is just more error-prone, and naturally one has to 
shutdown INN before any manual edition of the history file.

I would recommend to also rebuild the overview data ("makehistory -O") 
and not only the dbz files ("makedbz") as otherwise it will be 
inconsistent.  I think duplicated Message-IDs in the overview database 
won't prevent the articles from being accepted as our current overview 
methods work by article numbers, and not by Message-IDs, but better be 
consistent.

Running "news.daily notdaily" will do all of that for you.
