Thanks for your responses, but I'm afraid neither of your suggestions
really make sense. Perhaps it will help if I restate the situation.
My intention was to have most of my mail crossposted to several groups
(a group for each local user, plus other specialized groups). The idea
was to have lots of ways to find old messages. Most messages I keep
forever, so they'd just be marked as read in the normal fashion.
Some messages I don't want to save, though. For these I figured the most
straightforward thing to do would be to have a way to mark an article as
expirable in all the groups it appears in. I delete about 20% of the
mail I receive, so doing this by hand isn't really reasonable.
Perhaps there's a simpler way to go about it.
