I have an email group that does not use expiry. I copied emails from a group
that does use automatic expiration (the emails had the 'E' mark) into this
non-expiry group. The messages happily stayed in this group and never
expired even though they had the 'E' mark - which is as I expected. After
upgrading to 5.10.1 all those mails were deleted! Is this supposed to have
worked this way? I lost a whole LOT of mail this way!

Messages marked `E' are supposed to be expired, *except* if
nnmail-expiry-wait or nnmail-expiry-target say something else.
So, actually, Gnus seems to have had a bug before that was now
fixed...
It's a pity that you lost email, of course.

I've made the following change in T-gnus (based on Gnus, using
SEMI and FLIM for MIME functions):
1999-01-18 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka@jpl.org>
* gnus-sum.el (gnus-summary-move-article): Don't copy expirable
marks if the destination group is not expirable.
Here's a patch for the recent Gnus. How is it?

Will this patch be applied to the version currently in CVS? If I understood
correctly, it will remove the 'E' mark from messages that are copied from an
expirable group to one that is not expireable. That would be great!
