Gnus nicely saves a copy of each nnimap article I read in my
~/News/agent/nnimap/foo/INBOX.bar/ folder, however removing a message
only seems to delete it on the server. Shouldn't it remove the cached
article locally, too? I delete with B DEL yes RET.
Further, the messages shown when deleting a message are:
Expiring articles in nnimap+yxa:INBOX.2011
gnus-agent-expire: Loading overview... Done
gnus-agent-expire: Sorting entries... Done
gnus-agent-expire: Merging entries... Done
gnus-agent-expire: nnimap+yxa:INBOX.2011:11700: NOV entry removed
Expiry recovered 1 NOV entries, deleted 0 files, and freed 751.000000 B.
The "deleted 0 files" indicates it CAN delete files, right? So maybe
there is a bug rather than missing functionality.
Also, the amount of precision in the format string output seems a bit
excessive. How about simple patch below?

Yes, `B DEL' should definitely delete the file from the agent cache,
too. I think. However, I'm not really familiar with that code...
hm...

Thanks; applied.

It definitely should.

It seems that nobody are familiar with that code. It has many bugs,
especially with nnimap, and debugging into it is... obscure.
Re-think, re-design, and re-implement? Something to put on the list
for the cloudy one?
