Well all I know is that in the new group articles marked as E also go
away in a week, just like the old group I moved them from.
The net result of this bug is spam less than a week old from the old
group is has to be marked again as E by hand in the new group, or else
it won't go away like it would have in the old group.
So the "auto"expire assumption is wrong.
