While we're on the topic, I'd love to be able to set a second expiry
value and have Gnus move all mail in that category to another (nnml)
tree. 

I.e.

~/mail/foo/1
       bar/2
       baz/3

When "~/mail/baz/3" exceeds the appropriate value (say, 90 days), it
gets put into "~/last-quarter-mail/baz/3" or some such.

This is yet another idea for people with too much time and too little
to do :)
