I can't tell if I'm making progress or not. By a process of mostly shotgun debugging, I now have a bunch of articles in my spam folder that are marked as expirable. The group parameters are: ((timestamp 15690 40431) (auto-expire . t) (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 7)) When I enter the summary buffer with C-u space, I can see that there are a lot of 'E' articles and a lot of them are way older than 7 days. So it seems to me that some process should be actually deleting those old, expired articles. But that doesn't happen when I leave the summary buffer. What function actually cleans up articles marked expired that are older than expiry-wait days? What hook/function/magic runs that function?
