Well...  the flag still exists in the file in the X-Keyword header.  It
turns out that the Mail::Box perl class modifies the file name and
strips the 'a' off the end.  I don't know what flag the 'a' associates
with since I don't see it in maildir docs anywhere.

So...  How can I rebuild gnus' internal list of what's expired from
headers?  Because this:

 (display . [not expire])

Still shows expired messages.
