The only reason was that I was hung up on being able to use the read mark for something other than killing articles. I wanted read articles to stick around as "archive" material, but I think I can just adjust my thinking and become happy with just ticked and dormant. Actually, given one fairly minor enhancement, I don't think I'd need auto-expire *or* total-expire. If I just had the gnus-summary-mark-same-subject where you could provide the mark for it to use, I'd be happy. I don't really want auto-expire since I don't want all read marks to turn to expires, I just need a more powerful/flexible way to assign expire marks when called for. I wonder if this would be hard; and I wonder if Lars would have any interest in a patch for this... If I do decide to switch to total-expire, then all I have to do is figure out the easiest way to go through an ungodly number of groups and mark all the read articles as dormant before I make the switch. Thanks for response. -- Rob Browning PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
