We need to sort out the design issues I mentioned. No, we don't. gnus-summary-delete-article is intended to delete articles, period. My 1-line fix makes it do that, again, for both the non-default nnmail-expiry-target case as well as the group parms expiry-target case. This makes -delete-article operationally correct, deleting articles unconditionally, as advertised and intended (according to both help text and novice-user assist query). If you have other issues, such as nnmaildir not coping, then you have a problem specific to that, needing a bugfix for nnmaildir. And if an -expire-article-right-now function is wanted, that is a separate question, completely disjoint from whether -delete-article works. You may have a design issue related to how to do that, but my bugfix takes care of the outright flaw of -delete-article so that it works properly.
