I've been begging for this for almost 2 years now.

I have a huge investment in time built up in my Gnus mail groups, but
could care less (except for subscription) about news groups - they
expire very quickly off the nntp server I have access to.  A day or
two of missing news is a nuisance, a loss of 2 years of readership of
mail is a total disaster.

Lars, please reconsider your position on this?  Please?  Pretty please?
