It looks like a bug with the version of gnus I'm using(5.6.9). I
played with a group and I set auto-expire to t (total-expire to nil)
and expiry-wait to 21. Some of the "E" messages (older than 21 days)
wouldn't get deleted. After I shortened nnmail-expiry-wait to 14, some of
the very old messages got deleted and some others messages that were
older than 14 days, remained and just became "O". Also I
noticed the messages that turned "O" didn't get sorted properly
according to the date :-<

Does this happen to anyone else?
