auto-expire strangeness?

[Kai Grossjohann <grossjohann@charly.cs.uni-dortmund.de>]

Selecting an article marked "O" for reading marks this article as
expirable when in an auto-expirable group.

Why is this so?

I mark articles as read to save them on my disk for later perusal, so
reading an "O" article and having that suddenly be marked as expirable
is not what I want.

Another thing: if I have no new and no ticked articles in a group,
entering the group automatically shows me both the "O" and the
expirable articles.  Is there a way to tell Gnus not to show me the
expirable articles?

I quite like the fact that summary buffers are usually much smaller
with this mechanism, though.
