For a while I thought that I had broken it myself, but after some experimentation, I don't believe that is the case. For example... my toplevel topic has the total-expire parameter set to t, and my emacs subtopic has expiry-wait set to 14. I have messages in my ding group that are much more than two weeks old. Dating back to things sent fairly early in the pgnus cycle, in fact. (The fact that I set the group parameters in the topics has nothing to do with the problem, really.) Invoking expiry simply gives the "Expiring messages in nnml:ding...done" message, doesn't delete anything, and then finishes. Quite quickly. As much as I appreciate the speedup in expiry speed, disk isn't quite that cheap. Any ideas? -- Justin Sheehy In a cloud bones of steel.
