Total Expire Makes Exiting Mail Groups Take FOREVER !

[Aharon Schkolnik]

Hi.

I added the line


	(setq gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups ".*:mail\..*")


to my .emacs. Now, when I exit one of the groups that matches
the above (my mail groups), gnus sits there with the message Expiring
Articles for a LONG time. I can't live with this, so I got rid of the
above line. Is there something else I can do.

In my gnus-startup-hook I have:

(remove-hook 'gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook 'gnus-summary-expire-articles)

This means that you have to explicitly invoke expiry, it will not
happen automatically when you exit a group.  A good time to invoke
expire is lunch time ;-)
