I kind of like the notion of applying the full range of Mail commands
to agentized groups.  Move copy delete expire edit split etc etc.
After all these files are wholly owned by "agent".  What is
the big stumbling block there anyway? :)

Is there already a way to do this?  Move the accumulated agentized
messages to nnml groups of similar names,up to a certain date.  Run
agent expiry up to that same date with out overlapping.  Or with some
measure of accuracy.

Compared to the sophisticated expiry  scoring/expiry etc, that is
possible on mail groups ... Agent expiry is a primitive clunker.
