If you want this now, I'll include a patch I've been using for a few
years now that allows you to set the "display" group parameter to
"not-expired", so that it will show you old messages. This is
essentially what you want. I've always wanted to be able to make the
display parameter accept a string, something like "O !", which would
be translated into old, new, and ticked, or even better "-E" which
would be the same as not-expired. However, the hack I put in place
didn't work quickly and I didn't have time to mess with it much more.
Lars didn't want to accept the not-expired patch as is.
