Yes, that's a strange behavior of Gnus. If you were to change from auto-expire to total-expire, the behavior would be more dwim-like: both messages would have been marked as read, which would have made them expirable. I wonder whether one can do interesting tricks with the current behavior... There is a problem, though: what should happen if the article is cross-posted to several groups, and some of them are auto-expirable and some of them aren't? > (Also, it might be nice to be able to choose whether or not a given > command affects just the current article, or all instances of it...) Yes, that would be nice. It's been discussed on this list before, but AFAIK, nothing much came of it. kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
