Just a teensy little request - can a message be whacked on the end of
a `gnus-agent-expire' run.
Can expiry not be conducted on *all* articles older than a certain
date, regardless of whether they have been marked read or not (with
the exception of ticked)?
I realise I can do a `c' on a summary buffer limited by date, and
then run expiry. But a variable or function bringing about this
behaviour would be so much easier.
Useful feature? Should I just knock something up for myself and
leave everyone else alone?

Yup. Fix in Gnus v5.6.3.

Oh, Lars, I hope you're going to make this an option... I'd hate to
loose all that mail I leave around as unread on purpose... (I use
ticks as reference, unread as todo).

I hope this doesn't have anything to do with total expiry. I'd hate
to lose mail. :-(

Why don't you use dormant articles (`?') for this purpose?

Uh, Cough, because I completely forgot about those? Its probably time
to go read the manual through again... Every time I've done that I
still learn more. And I've been using the damn beast for a long time
now...

I do exactly the same thing.
I also like to make some messages read (and invisible later in Gnus),
but have them available on disk (indefinitely) for later grepping.

I used to do this. The problem was that they disappear (by default)
and don't reappear unless there is a (properly threaded) response.
Has this changed?

I just tried it.
No.
And, even weirder, it doesn't show up when I enter a group I have set
up to show everything but non-expired articles... It must not
completely obey normal marking symbols?

Well, I think you need to type / D or something to make them appear.
