I would like to add expiration to nntp.el. How do I do this? To be
precise, how do I find out if an article is expirable?
I know of the function nnmail-expired-article-p, but how do I find out
the TIME argument to call it?
tia,
kai

Well, you need to get some form of date from the backend. nndb could
just use the Date header of the message, and just call
`nnmail-date-to-time' to get a TIME. Or nndb could store the arrival
date of the message somewhere -- which is what, say, nnfolder does.
(It adds an extra header.)
