What I'd *really* like is to be able to mark an article as expirable on a certain date. For example, the keystroke `E' could take a number of days as a prefix and add a header to the article that says, for example, "expire me on April 13, 1998". The default number of days would be nnmail-expiry-wait, and this number would be added to the current date. Dan -- Dan Christensen jdc@math.jhu.edu
