Need pref to manage "Disk Space" used by news threads

Currently, there seems to be no way to get rid of news threads or headers that
have been downloaded and are just taking up space on the hard drive.

NC4.x has a pref to delete threads that were older than x days or if there were
more than y threads.

Basically, all prefs from NC4.x under mail-newsgroups - DISK SPACE should be
implemented.

This is a critical bug since if the disk space usage increases unbounded, there
will be serious performance and stability issues.
Severity: major → critical
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9
This is scheduled to be implemented as part of the offline mail/news feature 
support.  The prefs will likely be accessible in the Account Manager and 
possibly in group properties dialog.
