I'm new to Gnus; and sometimes a bit confused about what one would actually use. The auto-expiry feature of read articles looks very promising, but it's not exactly what I want. Before, using plain mh and scripts, I used to move only mail that I had answered semi-automatically to my archives, so that my read-but-unanswered-messages would stay in my inboxes for manual-archiving. Can this be easily automated with Gnus? While this was fine for personal mail, it was maybe not the perfect solution for mailinglist-mail (answering bug-reports). With Gnus, it would be possible to improve on this, by auto-expiring only mail that has been read, and of which the tread is longer than 1. This way, unanswered bug reports/help requests won't expire untill they're answered by someone. How do you handle this, or does this require some more hacking?
