[PB] with expirable / old articles

[Didier Verna]

	Hi !

I have 2 mailing lists bound to different nnml groups, with auto-expire in the 
group params for both groups.

- Now, say I receive a mail which is `To: list1' and `Cc: list2'.
- When I receive it, it appears in both groups.
- If I read the mail in list1, it's set to expirable. ok.
- Now, back to group buffer, I notice that the mail is marked old (O) but not
  expirable in list2, which gives me the % sign in the group buffer.

	This annoys me because I have to mark the article as expirable by hand 
in the list2 group. Is there anything I can do ?

Thanks.

I think the way to go is to use total-expire -- an article marked as
read in one group is automatically marked as read in all other,
crossposted, groups.

There used to be a proposal for more sensibly dealing with marks of
messages in multiple groups, but I don't know what became of it.
