(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+][6/01]) 

The Disk Space prefs pertaining to news messages are generally not sticking in
the prefs UI.  A couple types of changes will indeed stick, but it appears only
the toggling of "keep only unread messages" will truly write to the prefs.js
file.

Note:  after migrating 4.x profile, the news.keep.<various prefs> pref lines are
present in 5.0 prefs.js with the same values as 4.x.

1.  Launch seamonkey/5.0 to messenger.
2.  Edit|Prefs|Mail&News|Disk Space.
    Make changes to the prefs in Newsgroup Messages Only section.
    Confirm OK.
3.  Check the prefs dialog again -- result: most of the prefs changes don't
stick.
4.  Check the prefs.js file and see the changes were not written to the prefs.js
file (Exception being news.keep.only_unread).

Since offline news is cut for seamonkey, I"m just marking this a dup of the
other offline news prefs bug.

Per Phil: Offline news is uncommitted for Seamonkey. Let's just remove the 
prefs.
