The obvious kludge would be to have the latter function also expire component groups if the current group is a virtual group. Uhm. But where to do it... I could add an nnvirtual-request-expire-articles function, which could do its thing. Hm. Er. Yes. Probably. But `gnus-summary-expire-articles' takes into account group props and stuff, and we don't want the group props from the virtual group to adhere to the component groups, do we? That could be potentially catastrophic. Hm. Can't you just `C-c M-C-x' once in a while, like I do? :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
