I was afraid you'd say that.  That's bad.  Very bad.  One reason I use
nnfolder is so I can have gzipped nnfolders (I have 134MB already,
gzipped) and regzipping a 9MB file every time I expire a message
(about a 100 messages a day in that group) would quickly make me hate
life.  8^)

How about just making it save when you do gnus-group-save-newsrc...
no, that really doesn't make sense.  How about a
"gnus-group-save-everything" which I can bind to s in *Group*?  I
guess I could just add something to gnus-save-newsrc-hook.
