Two groups with identical settings have different expiry behaviour. I'm using group parameters in topic mode to manage expiry. Gnus pterodactyl 0.84. I've got 2 nnml groups: "Personal" and "Subscriptions" in my root topic "Gnus", which has topic parameters: ((expiry-wait quote never)) The groups themselves do not have any additional parameters. So I would expect mail in both groups to not be expired. And since the configuration of both groups is identical, they should behave identically anyway. Fact is, my personal mail does not expire, whereas my subscription notices do. This is a PITA when you want to unsubscribe again, as you can understand. More troublesome is the feeling that I don't have the expiry under control, and the fear that one day some important emails will get lost :-(. The only difference I can see between the 2 groups, is that the "Personal" group that doesn't get expired about always has some articles ticked. All my .gnus has to say about expiry: ;; If emacs is idle for an hour, expiry gets run. (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-expire-all-groups nil 60) ;; But only delete mail which is explicitly expirable (setq nnmail-expiry-wait 'never) Does anybody have any clue what's going on here? :*CU# -- *** Guido A.J.
