I have a group that is set up for auto-expire. I have a few questions:
1) This means that a 'catchup' will automatically mark as 'E' all unread
messages and that all read messages are also marked as 'E'?
2) If I want one of my read messages to NOT be marked as 'E' what do I do?
Is the 'd' command the correct thing to do?
3) I have been marking for cache ('!') all messages that I do not want to
lose. Is this correct? Or will the answer to (2) ensure that the message
remains?

No, only unmarked messages will be marked expirable.

Both works. The choice depends on whether you want the messages to be
shown in the message buffer by default or not.
