The registered version of my expire program does it.  I just put

   news.answers /mexp=96,h+

in the USENET file and forget about it.

The shareware version is EXPIRE10.ZIP, available in the usual places.  It
doesn't do the necessary header-parsing for the above feature, but is a
fully-functional news-expiring program.
