I like the idea (and usage so far) of group parameters *a lot*, so I'm
biased in that direction.
(expiry . 5) or (expiry-wait . 5)
would be great.
I don't want it complex. Rather than using a negative number to
indicate immediate expire, would it be too difficult to extend the
value space to include special atoms like 'immediate and 'never?
(expiry . 'immediate)
(defun expiry-function (group)
(cond ((string= group "junk") 'immediate)
((string= group "gnus-list") 'never)
...
Since nnmail-expiry-wait-function has no way of returning that it
should not apply to a group, it would be best to not let it override
the group parameters by default.
