I use IMAP. Then, I have 'd' bound to (defun gdt-gnus-move-to-trash () (interactive) (gnus-summary-move-article nil gdt-trash-newsgroup)) and actually delete messages. the trash group has total-expire. I use auto-expire on mailing list groups, but I don't read those with other clients. This is based around making it usable to use the iphone imap client with the same server as gnus. If I wanted to deal with other groups, I'd think about making gnus expire based on read marks instead of expirable. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkrfmnYACgkQH9p66AmO1g4HIwCfWMb64unOfi6vARYGGRfYb4yi o30AnRE7Ukz/qMdF5zmSeWUbCnecpfHA =lMLn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
