(Which might be a faulty assumption.) If the group is auto-expirable, the articles are marked as expirable; if it's a total-expirable group, the articles are marked as read. Since the user takes a copy of the articles when SOUPing, that seems like the most reasonable default action to take. -- "Yes.
