Selecting an article marked "O" for reading marks this article as
expirable when in an auto-expirable group.
Why is this so?
I mark articles as read to save them on my disk for later perusal, so
reading an "O" article and having that suddenly be marked as expirable
is not what I want.
Another thing: if I have no new and no ticked articles in a group,
entering the group automatically shows me both the "O" and the
expirable articles. Is there a way to tell Gnus not to show me the
expirable articles?
I quite like the fact that summary buffers are usually much smaller
with this mechanism, though.

I don't know. I certainly find it annoying.
Anybody remember why this was done? Should I change it?

Not at present. It's on the todo list, though.

I got a response from somebody (sorry I forgot your name) who told me
that you told him about gnus-mark-article-hook:
,-----
| ;; Use this for auto-expire only.
| (remove-hook 'gnus-mark-article-hook
| 'gnus-summary-mark-read-and-unread-as-read)
| (add-hook 'gnus-mark-article-hook 'gnus-summary-mark-unread-as-read)
`-----
I'm happy with this solution.

I've now added this to the manual.
