Ie. I expected what you term buggy > behaviour. :-) Hm. There is two kinds of expiry in a agent group, one is the normal expiring in the real backend via E marks (nnimap), which should work (does it?), but you should also be able to locally expire the agent cache with gnus-agent-expire-articles (does it work?). The first should delete articles on the server, the second should not. Hm. I don't use the agent much, but does this make sense? (Btw, wouldn't it be nice if it was possible to enable the agent via customize instead of forcing people to manually edit ~/.gnus?)
