Hm, I don't know if it does anything with your .newsrc.eld, but at least
it should expire read and unmarked articles the agent cached that are
older than `gnus-agent-expire-days'. At least here, it does so.
With regards to the .newsrc.eld issue. I guess the deletion of groups
is not done, because when you subscribe to a group that was subscribed
some time ago, then gnus will automatically know which articles you've
already read. And since there are only entries for groups you already
subscribed, it won't grow ad infimum.
Bye,
Tassilo
