True, though for now, you can (as I think Kai suggested to me) use daemon-expiry: ;;; expiry handling (remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles) (setq gnus-use-demon t) (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-expire-all-groups 30 30) I've started toying with total-expire for a few groups, and this made things quite acceptable, performance wise. -- Rob Browning PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
