catchup and auto-expire?

catchup and auto-expire?

[Amos Gouaux]

At one point I *thought* that if one did a catchup ('c' from Group
buffer), and that group had auto-expire set to t, then all those
unread articles were marked with 'E' instead of 'O'.  Maybe I'm
remembering incorrectly?  Anyway, I notice recently when I use 'c'
on such a group all the messages are marked 'O'.  I guess I could
use total-expire, but I was wondering if there was another catchup
command I could use instead?

No, I don't think that was ever implemented...

???

I've seen it!  I'm sure I've seen it!

Hm.  Though I might have done the `c' from the summary buffer, not the
group buffer.

Amos, does that make a difference?

It works from both, the group and the summary buffer.

It should *not* make a difference, IMHO.

Bye, Reiner.

The only difference is whether the old E-marked aticles are expired.
If I use 'c' in Summary automatic expiry is done, but if I use it in
Group I have to manually do C-c C-x to force an expiry run.
