(info "(gnus)Expiring Mail")
   The expirable marks of articles will be removed when copying or
moving them to a group in which auto-expire is not turned on.  This is
for preventing articles from being expired unintentionally.  On the
other hand, to a group that has turned auto-expire on, the expirable
marks of articles that are copied or moved will not be changed by
default.  I.e., when copying or moving to such a group, articles that
were expirable will be left expirable and ones that were not expirable
will not be marked as expirable.  So, even though in auto-expire
groups, some articles will never get expired (unless you read them
again).  If you don't side with that behavior that unexpirable articles
may be mixed into auto-expire groups, you can set
`gnus-mark-copied-or-moved-articles-as-expirable' to a non-`nil' value.
In that case, articles that have been read will be marked as expirable
automatically when being copied or moved to a group that has
auto-expire turned on.  The default value is `nil'.
