Oops, here we go again. I currently have the following group-parameters
in several of my groups ...

((expiry-wait . 2))

Which works wondefully in the sense that everything over two days old
gets expired. Fine and dandy except I have some groups where I'd like it
to expire everything except the most recent x number of messages. That
way I limit the mailboxes size regardless of how busy the list has been,
more for my convenience than any disk usage concerns but it's be a nice
thought.

Perhaps

((expiry-max . 50)) or ((expiry-wait . "#50"))  ??

Thoughts?

Lee.
