Ok, so now I've set gnus-registry-track-extra to nil in order to make
the registry only track message ids.  That works fine for new articles,
but is there a way to remove the sender, recipients, and subjects from
old articles that are already contained in the registry?

`gnus-registry-remake-db' looks like it will erase all information, so
I've not tried that so far.
