I thought the whole point of this thread was that deletion in an nnir
group *does* cause deletion of the original article.  So I am assuming
that that holds as well for articles marked as expirable in an nnir
group.

So, say I do an nnir search, and the results contain an article in my
INBOX, which has a long expiry-wait.  I mark it as expirable in the nnir
group, think that that will just cause the mark to propagate to the
INBOX, where the usual expiry process will happen.  But when I exit the
nnir group, expiry runs, and the article disappears sooner than I
expected.
