I've been using auto-expire of most of my groups. I know that eventually the expiry process will run and delete the messages. If I don't want the message to be deleted, I either tick it ("!" mark") or use 'd' ("r" mark). No that I am using spam.el, ham folders with auto-expiry set will not be trained as ham. Messages with the 'E' mark are not passed on for ham training. I understand why that is but that is my alternative? For example, I have subscribe to a mailing where I need to keep very few messages. auto-expiry automatically trims the group's contents for me. But if I want to use tihs for ham training, I cannot use auto-expiry. SO how do I delete messages without using it? -- Jake Colman Principia Partners LLC Phone: (201) 209-2467 Harborside Financial Center Fax: (201) 946-0320 902 Plaza Two E-mail: colman@ppllc.com Jersey City, NJ 07311 www.principiapartners.com
