Or even better, IMHO, would be if crossposted mail were treated in the
same way as news servers handle expiring crossposted news. That is,
the article is not removed until it has expired in *all* the
groups. (Though I do use total-expire in most mail groups, so articles
do not need manual expiry). On the other hand B del should remove the
article immediately in all crossposted groups.
