Expire below

Expire below

[Mojahedul Hoque Abul Hasanat]

Is there any easy way to mark articles below a defined score as
"expired"?  Gnus makes articles with scores below 0 as expunged.  But
as I use Gnus only to read my mails, expunging them is not what I
want.  As I understand, expunged articles are only hidden from the
summary buffer.  I want them to get marked as "expired" so they go to
hell when the expiry process runs.

I will appreciate any pointers, hints, bangs on the head...

One way is to use total-expire.  Normally, only articles marked E are
expirable, but with total-expire on, all read articles are expirable
(K, Y, R, r, ...).

Another way _might_ be to turn on auto-expire.  Maybe the expunging
marks the messages E (expirable) when auto-expire is on.  (Normally,
C-k marks messages as K (killed), but when auto-expire is on, it
marks them E (expirable).)
