I'm afraid you have to mark them manually. Try setting gnus-summary-goto-unread to nil, then you should be able to do `4 7 1 1 E' to mark 4711 articles as expirable. After marking as expirable, you can then set gnus-summary-goto-unread back to the old value. Hm. Or does it work to say `4 7 1 1 M-x gnus-summary-put-mark-as-expirable-next RET', regardless of the variable value? kai -- The arms should be held in a natural and unaffected way and never be conspicuous. -- Revised Technique of Latin American Dancing
