Procamil can easily | handle the problem you present because you can list as many conditions as you | like in a single rule. Hm. True. That wasn't the case when I first started using procmail, and I rarely have use for that feature, so I'd forgotten. But yes, okay. | The deletion expiration stuff is a bit confusing but becomes less so if you | kind of forget deletion as an option, like you would on an nntp group. Think | of deletion as something taken care of by a "higher power" and you just guide | its hand as to when with your expiry. Actually, I've noticed that one of the things that confuses people the most is that messages "disappear" once they've been read. Which is why I say that some article needs to be written that addresses it for people new to Gnus. | Taking a word of advice from Karl K. I've switched the bindings of "E" | (gnus-summary-mark-as-expirabl) and "e" (gnus-summary-edit-article) Since | expiring is much more common function for me. That makes it easier to mark | as `expirable', since no is needed That's an excellent idea; I wonder why that isn't the default.
