(but please tell me how) I use "M H" and "M h" (selective catch-up, sorting the group by date, say) all the time to catch up many articles without reading them. My understanding is that these are then marked as having been read and, with the setting that others have noted, will then participate in the expiry process. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50 & org 9.3.7 on Debian bullseye/sid
