No, nnmaildir has an equivalent but independent feature. Anyway, it seems that we want two functions: immediate deletion and time-based expiration, where the behavior on expiration is configurable. Are we satisfied that those are the only features we want from nnchoke-request-expire-articles? If so, then let's update the backend interface documentation to specify that the "force" argument indicates both immediacy and deletion instead of expiration. Then let's fix the code to make it so. Or, if we're not satisfied with those two functions, let's figure out what else we want, and then update the docs and code. paul
