Because I might not want to archive mail that I explicitly deleted
(but then again I might), I was thinking of adding something similar
to gnus-decay-score-function for expiry time and delete time.  It
would be nice if all information known about the article was passed to
the function, such as which group it was in and the path to the file.
And like write-file-hooks, if the function returned non-nil, the file
is considered already deleted.

What do you think?
