Subject: gnus-agent-expire seems to expire more messages than it should?
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:30:33 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fw1tkb9a.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Hello,
at some point recently, I realised that my agent directory was using up
over 2GB. Not a big deal, as such, but I thought I could clean things
up a little. I had a look at gnus-agent-expire and realised that
expiration of articles did not necessarily clean up the agent cache. So
I executed this function. Success: I freed up a lot of space.
However, I seem to have freed up rather more than I expected. I have
,----[ C-h v gnus-agent-expire-all RET ]
| gnus-agent-expire-all is a variable defined in `gnus-agent.el'.
| Its value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, also expire unread, ticked and dormant articles.
| If nil, only read articles will be expired.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| [back]
`----
which tells me that only *read* articles would be expired. The gnus
agent seems to have expired all kinds of read articles as well,
essentially behaving as if I had set gnus-agent-expire-all to something
other than nil. Am I misunderstanding something or have I missed
another configuration variable?
I haven't lost anything, obviously, but all my expired *unread* articles
now need to be re-loaded. No big deal but I am curious!
I am using gnus up-to-date from a day or so ago.
Thanks,
eric
