I've been running oort for a while and expiry has been working the way I expect (delete all my old read mail). But I noticed the other day that it wasn't working. So I upgraded from CVS yesterday. No change. So I read some archived mail in ding (there was quite a bit as it hasn't been expiring :-) and changed a few group parameters. No change. Hmmm. My group parameters for ding look like this: ((timestamp 15670 38322) (to-list . "ding@gnus.org") (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 30) (expiry-target . delete)) If I enter the (nnml) group with C-u space, I see lots of old mail (some more than six weeks old). Most of it marked 'O', but some of it marked 'E' (from when I fiddled with auto-expire, I think). When I leave the group, none of it gets deleted. Obvious user error, probably. But not obvious to me, alas.
