If I do 'M-x gnus-agent-expire' I thought that all read articles
older than gnus-agent-expire-days would be expired, but I just
discovered, that this seems not to be the case here.

gnus-agent-expire-days's value is 28 (no group or topic parameters)
but I do find read articles back to the 5 Apr after gnus-agent-expire
in v0.95 (I run it on the same data in 5.6.45 a few days ago, so the
behavior is in both versions.)
It doesn't help marking the articles as expirable.

I do run gnus-agent-expire quite often and it *does* expire articles.
I just expected that these articles from april would have been erased
from my hd now.

Wrong expectations?
