Hi,

In ``(gnus)Article Cache'' I read the following.

,-----
|    The entering/removal of articles from the cache is controlled by the
| `gnus-cache-enter-articles' and `gnus-cache-remove-articles' variables.
| Both are lists of symbols.  The first is `(ticked dormant)' by
| default, meaning that ticked and dormant articles will be put in the
| cache.  The latter is `(read)' by default, meaning that articles marked
| as read are removed from the cache.  Possibly symbols in these two
| lists are `ticked', `dormant', `unread' and `read'.
`-----

I have bound the "d" key to be gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable in all
groups.  Does this mean that ticked articles that are in the cache
will not be removed from the cache when I hit "d"?  I always thought
rebinding the "d" key like this wasn't dangerous...

The word "expirable" does not occur in the last sentence I cited
above, so I'm a bit confused.

Expirable articles are read, so it doesn't make much of a difference.
