Subject: Expiring with gnus-parameters in .gnus
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 10:02:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874nypnr0h.fsf@newsguy.com> (raw)

When you use gnus-parameters to expire certain groups like in the code below:
-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 
  (setq gnus-parameters
        '(("_ex$"
  ;;    '(("[Ss]pam[0-9]*$\\|_ex$"
  	 (total-expire . t)
  	 (expiry-wait . 18))
          ("_tr$"
           (total-expire . t)
  	 (expiry-wait . 90)
          (gnus-visible-headers
           (concat gnus-visible-headers "\\|^X-Spam-Report:.*_FARAWAY_"))
          ("_$"
  	 (total-expire . t)
  	 (expiry-wait . 340)))))
-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

Do you actually have to open each group for the expiry to happen?

It appears so, since I see and expiry action take place when I open
such groups.

If that is true, then is there some other mechanism that will expire
groups without having to actually open each group?
