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. -- steve@miranova.com baur
