Nil? 0? Either way, it should > be documented and the custom type improved. gnus-agent-expire-days is archiac (perhaps the documentation should say that) as it provides a global value. It used to provide a list of regular expressions matching group names but that didn't provide a visual interface for maintaining it. This use was deleted in 5.10 and replaced by agent parameters in categories, groups, and topics (See Agent Basics in the manual). If you want to globally turn expiration OFF, see gnus-agent-enable-expiration. If you want to selectively control expiration, try editing your category. That is, open the category buffer, select the appropriate category, then type 'e'. Kevin
