If I understand the manual correctly, these messages should be
expirable. 

,----
| `total-expire'
|      If the group parameter has an element that looks like
|      `(total-expire . t)', all read articles will be put through the
|      expiry process, even if they are not marked as expirable.  Use with
|      caution.  Unread, ticked and dormant articles are not eligible for
|      expiry.
