After gnus-agent-expire the results in message buffer tell me:
Expiring articles in gnu.emacs.gnus
Expiring articles in comp.emacs.xemacs
Expiring articles in gnu.emacs.help
Expiring articles in comp.security.ssh
Expiring articles in gnu.emacs.sources
Expiring articles in sfnet.keskustelu.vitsit
But I have tons of other groups in NNTP backend (that's covered
by agent) and it doesn't seem to expire those groups
Reading gnus-agent-expire is ..uhm.. not trivial. Someone should
break it into several manageable parts.
I would like to know what Gnus scans, so how do I get a list of
groups that Gnus thinks are included in expiration process?
Currently my disk partition is filling fast.

It seems to work for me...

It's that way because it tries to be efficient.

It basically goes through the Agent history file and deletes
everything there that's "old", after filtering the definition of
"old" on a per group basis. If the messages aren't in the history
file, they won't be deleted, I think.
