If total-expire is on, articles marked as read are expirable.
I'm unsure about the difference between
(1) turning on total-expire then marking articles as "!" or "?"
depending on whether they should be hidden or displayed, and
(2) using auto-expire or explicitly marking articles as expirable
and marking articles "!" or "r" depending on whether they should
be hidden or displayed.
Can anybody shed some light on that?
I suspect that M-x gnus-group-expire-all-groups RET is faster in case
(1). But what else is different?
