In nnimap-find-expired-articles there is this snippet to handle the
result of a UID SEARCH:
(delete 0 (mapcar #'string-to-number
(cdr (assoc "SEARCH" (cdr result)))))
Why the delete 0? Is there some chance that the IMAP server responds
with a bogus UID?

Some of the respond with non-numerical stuff in addition to the uids.
That's just an easy way to filter out everything that's non-numerical.
