Perhaps I'm missing something and my configuration is busted, but I have groups that should have expired articles a long time ago, but haven't. I have a topic parameter for the "Debian" topic which is (total-expire . t) for example: (gnus-group-find-parameter "mail.lists.debian.devel") => ((to-list . "debian-devel@lists.debian.org") (total-expire . t) (subscribed . t)) This group has 7600+ messages in it (it really does, I checked the nnml directory, so it's not just a problem of the article count estimate). Of course, many of them are older than my nnmail-expiry-wait value of 7 days. C-c C-x on that group outputs a message "Expiring articles in mail.lists.debian.devel...done" Perhaps there is something else controlling expiry that I'm missing? nnmail-expiry-wait-function is nil. thanks, -- Josh Huber
