Expiring immediately is almost a oxymoron. Expiry (as > it works in Gnus) suggests something passive and deletion something > active. I like Karl's patch. That's what I would like to see go > through. Regardless of whether we want immediate expiration, immediate deletion should work for all backends; Karl's patch doesn't do that. Are there any objections to using -request-move-article for deletion in gnus-summary-delete-article ? I think that will work for all backends. Regarding immediate expiration, is that what gnus-summary-expire-articles-now is supposed to do? Or should it delete as well? paul
