Second, I beleive that total expire and auto expire cannot coexist in the same group. You have to decide on one and stick with it. I use total expire, since it's simpler and works well with adaptive scoring. For example, my group parameters for ding list look like this: ((to-address . "ding@gnus.org") (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 28)) Expiring mail is in details explained in Gnus info file (under ``Select Methods'' -> ``Getting Mail'' -> ``Expiring Mail'' node) and also discussed in Kai's mail tutorial at . -- Toni Drabik Warning: This article may be fatal if swallowed.
