auto-expiration should take effect in crossposted copies, yes?

[Karl Kleinpaste]

I have (auto-expire) in most of my mailing lists.  I also catch copies
of anything I write in nnml:personal.karl, where auto-expiration is
not in effect.  If I send something to ding@ifi.uio.no, when it comes
back from the list, it will be crossposted to both personal.karl and
list.ding.  Fine so far.

The problem I see, though, is that reading my own post in
personal.karl first will cause it not to be marked `E'xpirable in
list.ding, as everything there should be.  It is merely marked `O'
there.

Is it not appropriate that crossposts to auto-expirable groups be
noticed, and marked as such?

Yes, that's a problem.  Fixing it is on the todo list, though.
