nnrss group and auto-expire

nnrss group and auto-expire

[Rud1ger Sch1erz]

I'd like to use auto-expire for my nnrss groups, thus mark read articles
as expirable automatically. 

While this works fine form my nnml groups, nnrss groups seem to ignore
it. However I can mark single articles in nnrss group as expirable using
the `E' command.

Any ideas?

I'm not certain, but I wouldn't expect expiry to work at all in nnrss
groups. They are essentially read-only, whereas expiry means you want
the articles to *go* somewhere after a certain period of time. I
wouldn't expect you could make nnrss articles go anywhere.

Well, when fetching articles from an RSS feed, don't they get stored
locally in a rss file in ~/News/rss/...? 

I would expect, that I was able, to kill them there, which should also be
possible by expiring? Sure, you couldn't kill'em at the origin RSS
feed...

You're right, there is a `nnrss-request-expire-articles', guess I should
have looked at the code first! My only suggestion at this point is to
e-debug that function, and step through it -- maybe you'll see something
going wrong.
