The expiry flag (per se) has never deleted anything. It only presents
candidates for deletion, and then you choose subsets of the
expiry-marked articles and then delete them. (Or all of them, in the
-now case.)
So to answer your question -- no, `B DEL' isn't the only way to delete
articles. But I think we're talking past each other here. I thought
you were talking about the gnus-expire mark on the IMAP server. It has
no meaning in an IMAP context as such.
