Subject: Thoughts on expiry
Date: 10 Oct 2001 12:31:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2het7spdn.fsf@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
There's an off line reader I use on another service which has a very
useful expiry metric, based on threads.
The idea is that, if the most recent article in a thread with no
unread articles is older than the specified age, that entire thread
gets expired/moved to an archive/whatever. I find this particular
behaviour startlingly useful.
Does anyone know if there's been work done in this area with Gnus? I
can't find anything referring to it in the docs, but I don't want to
go reinventing the wheel if I can possibly help it (although wheel
reinvention can be a fun learning experience...)
