nndraft and "expired" articles

nndraft and "expired" articles

[Jack Vinson]

Shouldn't nndraft treat expired articles just like the other back ends?  I
mean expired articles should not show up in the Summary buffer unless I do
C-u Ret to enter the group.

This is not the case.  The draft group keeps telling me I have four
articles sitting in it and when I enter the group, it is always the same
four.  I explicitly hit E to get them to go away, but they show up the next
time I enter the group.

Am I forgetting a simple group setting that will get them to go away?

nndraft is explicitly set up so that no message is expired, ever.
You'll have to `B DEL' the messages, I'm afraid.  Normally, though,
there should only be `interesting' messages in them, anyway (messages
that you have begun writing but not finished).

C-c C-k is supposed to really abort writing a message, I think.

All articles in the draft groups are permanently unread.  Article
marks in that group do not stick.  If you want those articles to go
away, you have to delete them manually (with `B DEL').

Can you bind [delete] in gnus-summary-backend-map, as well as \0177?
For some reason, my delete key only generates the keysym, and the
charcode doesn't work.  Perhaps it is a problem on my end, but it is a
simple addition to the code, I think.

This works for me:

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "\177" 'gnus-summary-delete-article)
