The obsolete tuples are removed when the database is walked through. It
we look for a given tuple and find it, we will not purge the 
next obsolete tuples.

Obsolete tuples are all removed when a new messages comes in: this is a
new tuple, so we will walk the whole database looking for it, and we
will remove all obsolete tuples.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
