You are right, I didn't.  I was not sure group parameters were the way
to go (I had never used them before) and so I thought I could try
something different, started playing with the different marking options,
and eventually send the initial message.

Well, I tried to explain what I was after, but as I said I didn't see
solving the group parameters issue as the key.  Now I see (thanks
everyone) that it can be a way to achieve what I am after.  So I
apologize for the waste of everyone's time, perhaps especially to
Philipp Haselwarter who had pointed me to the right info page but which
I overlooked.

Yes, writing it like that does not make Gnus complain after C-cC-c.
However I am afraid I am finding a difficulty: I do mark some messages
as expirable (so that the messages are marked with `E'), and I cannot
find a group parameter expression which shows unseen messages, read
messages, and ancient messages but not messages marked as expirable.  It
seems to me that the 'expire' operator of the group parameters selects
messages which are not expirable because they are younger than the
time-to-expire parameter for the group.  Do anyone of you have any idea
of how I can make marked-to-expire messages not to show up in the
summary?

Cheers and thanks again!
