	Hi,

	There was nice catchup function, but I noticed a need for
	a catchup-as-expired function too. This small patch makes
	the catcup to accept any gnus mark.

	Would someone care to write the user level catchup-as-expired 
	function. (I now call this patched function from gnus
	summary hook)

	jari

I don't understand the need for it.

What expiry method are you using?
