Is it possible for the expiry process to give more details?

I have populated

nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets

so that when I "E" articles e.g. in my gmail INBOX and then expire the
group, some of those marked E go to the trash, while others go
(hopefully) to more appropriate destinations (for example, any mail
to-from my wife goes to a particular folder). So I use expiry for
archiving.

For the most part, this works fine for me.

But the report given in the *Messages* buffer is not useful for tracking
down any misconfigurations; e.g. this is typical:

Expiring articles...
Expiring article INBOX:19736
Expiring article INBOX:19737
Expiring article INBOX:19741
Expiring articles...done

I wonder how hard it would be to have those *Messages* say more?  Could
they indicate for each article what the outcome of the expiration
process was (i.e. the destination folder)?  And maybe give more
human-identifiable info about the expired articles than their numbers?

(Or maybe this is already possible and I've overlooked some
configuration option...?)
