I see. It seems you want to mark them processable, and then you want
to use M-& E to mark the processable articles as expirable.
Lessee now...
I'm afraid you will have to do something klugy like using `/ m' to
limit to marks (enter `?' as the mark), then mark all remaining
articles processable, then pop the limit (with `/ w').

That's right. That's the documented behavior of dormant articles :-)
Maybe it is possible to achieve the effect you want in some other way,
that does not require such contortions? So why did you mark the
articles as dormant in the first place?
