Re: Completely removing an article from drafts?

[Lloyd Zusman <ljz@asfast.com>]

You're right, except for `gnus-summary-delete-article',
`gnus-summary-delete-marked-as-read', and
`gnus-summary-delete-marked-wuth'.

The first one does what `nnmail-expiry-function' tells it to do.  As I
mentioned in my other message, that means that these functions do NOT do
a dictionary "delete" unless `nnmail-expiry-function' is set to 'delete.

The second two simply limit what's shown in the summary buffer to
those articles that are unread, or accordingly marked, without actually
removing anything.
