Yeah thats what I'm used to seeing too.

Yeah but how to find that out... when there seems to be no output?

Pretty much has for me to... since way back in quassia days... long
before we had gnus-agent-expire.
But since the advent of gnus-agent-expire which is quite a while
now.. I've always been able to run it successfully.
If I just new that gnus would be tricked into thinking the files were
still here, I'd hand delete all messages leaving the .overview and
.agentview.
Maybe some kind soul will jump in here with that information..
Probably ought to start a new thread on that subject.... yea.. think
I will.
