Expire marked articles

Expire marked articles

[Cecil Westerhof]

With gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable you can expire an article. I would
like to expire the marked articles. I could not find something for
this. Is this not possible, or am I overlooking something?

G c on the group and set the time till expiry and the action upon expiration.

That is not what I mean. When in a group you can expire an article with
'E'. What I like to do is to mark several articles with '#' and then
expire all the articles I have marked with '#'.

Try `M-& E'.

  M-& (translated from <escape> &) runs the command
  gnus-summary-universal-argument, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
  function in `gnus-sum.el'.
  
  It is bound to M-&, <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Run command on articles...>,
  <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Process Mark> <Process Mark Sets> <Run command on
  marked...>.
  
  (gnus-summary-universal-argument arg)
  
  Perform any operation on all articles that are process/prefixed.

That does what I want. Thanks.

With 'M P a' all articles are selected. Is there a way to select only
unread articles?
