For my nnml:misc group, I have no group parameters save for formatting
the line:
((gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z%~(form (gnus-extra-header 'To))@%~(cut-left 2)~(max-right 6)~(pad 6)o %I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n"))
However, as of about a month ago, Gnus stopped deleting the articles I
have ticked as expirable ("E") after a week like it used to do, and like
the info says it should do:
" To make Gnus get rid of your unwanted mail, you have to mark the
articles as "expirable". This does not mean that the articles will
disappear right away, however. In general, a mail article will be
deleted from your system if, 1) it is marked as expirable, AND 2) it is
more than one week old."
I see the same behaviour for my other nnml groups as well, and I'd
appreciate some pointers to where to look for the a solution to the
problem, or a solution if anyone else has experienced this. Currently
I'm using Emacs-20.4.1 and pgnus-0.96.
Thank you in advance,
Bjorn.

Sorry, no solution for something that has never worked. :-) (Or should
that be :-( ) I just thought I'd follow up with the solution to my
problems. Apparently a couple of the messages in the group were made
during Y2K-testing, and thus accidentally had the year 2000 embedded in
the dates. I manually edited these to say 1999 instead, and the group
now expires correctly. Wether this has exposed a Gnus bug or feature, I
am not a competent enough a lisp hacker to say.
Bjorn.
(still a wannabe :)
