The manual states more than once that=20 gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups only expires messages that have=20 been read; my question is about expiring *all* messages, even the=20 unread ones, when they get old. If gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups=20 can be made to expire both read and unread together, then that's=20 great. (but please tell me how) -- Thanks David Rogers
