This doesn't answer your question, but I also find that because of my habit of using expiry in mail groups, I often accidentally mark articles as expirable in nntp groups as well, which doesn't make sense. Maybe Gnus should automatically convert expirable marks to read marks in nntp groups (and other groups which don't allow article deletion)? My .newsrc.eld gets really cluttered because of my misbehaving fingers. Dan
