That's exactly what I did: I've set all expirable mail to expire immediately
when exiting a group
(setq nnmail-expiry-wait 'immediate)
For some groups (mailinglists like ding for instance), I've set the group
parameters to
((auto-expire . t))
such that all articles are marked expirable when I read them. Marking them read
with `d' unmarks them expirable: when I leave the group and enter again these
articles are still there and marked as old `O'.
To make sure that I do not expire articles that I would like to keep after
reading them, I have made sure that all expirable articles are highlighted
(using the same face as deleted articles) as a clearly visible cue that these
articles will be deleted when I exit the group. For this I added the following
to my .gnus.el
(load "gnus-sum.elc")
(setq gnus-summary-highlight
(cons '((= mark gnus-expirable-mark) . gnus-summary-cancelled-face)
gnus-summary-highlight)
)
Note the loading of gnus-sum.elc before prepending the necessary face
to gnus-summary-highlight. If omitted, gnus complains about
gnus-summary-highlight not being defined and will not start up.
