Doesn't `gnus-summary-expire-articles-now' expire such articles correctly? Maybe B DEL should be reverted to not respect expiry-target at all then. Yes, looking at g-s-e-a-n, it seems the last patch was not sufficient; variables like expiry-wait should also be searched from group parameters. I suggest this, making B DEL really delete articles.

Maybe B DEL should be reverted to not respect > expiry-target at all then. I think gnus-summary-expire-articles-now expires all articles that are marked as expirable, I think. B DEL only works on one article. I guess we want to have both commands: (a) put this article through expiry process, regardless of age, and (b) delete this article from the group, circumventing the usual expiry process. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
