It is a strange > problem, and I can't figure it out, it has never worked for me using: [...] 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.
