Subject: suggestion for expiry
Date: 28 Jul 1999 14:02:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ptvk8rlq65b.fsf@scratchy.maths.bath.ac.uk> (raw)
I like gnus for its ability to wait before deleting expirable mail
messages (nnmail-expiry-wait-function, etc.). In my mail groups,
expiry length is set to 30 days. When I keep messages ticked for more
than a month, and then I mark them expirable, they are deleted
immediately. Am I the only one to be bothered by this?
May I suggest that expiry be based on another date than the message's
'Date:' field? Rather, another field storing the date of the last time
the message was read seems to me more appropriate. What do people
think?
Max.
