Message-ID: <shln8aty2o.fsf@tux.gnu.franken.de> (raw)

I know, this issue was discussed lately...  (please, read again Kai's
remarks).  gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable should not move to
unread/unticked article.  Instead it should move next article; it
shouldn't not care whether this article is read or unread.

The (my) scenario is as follows: From time to time I decide to walk
through old mail, sequentially, and to mark some of them with `E'.
Doing this, the cursor flips to the next unread one -- and that's
certainly not te action which helps me to finish my plan: to expire old
read mail ;-)

If you don't want to change the default behavior, please improve the doc
string:

Mark N articles forward as expirable and move to the next unread article.
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If N is negative, mark backward instead.  The difference between N and
the actual number of articles marked is returned.
