And there are some operations that aren't really group-buffer-conscious -- like `gnus-group-expire-all-groups'. If a mail group belongs to two topics, one with `total-expiry' and one without, it's kinda hard to decide what to do. I think I'll just have the manual say that it's "undefined" what happens and let the user deal with it. It's only `total-expiry' that has this problem, though, so perhaps one could do something clever with that, but I don't quite know what... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@ifi.uio.no * Lars Ingebrigtsen
