(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. aTdHvAaNnKcSe! -- work : ke@suse.de | : http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ------ ,__o personal: ke@gnu.franken.de | ------ _-\_<, : http://www.franken.de/users/gnu/ke/ | ------ (*)/'(*)
