This is unchanged from its standard setting of `delete'. It isn't being
set in the config, or anything like that.
If I can provide any other info, please let me know. I can make the
~/.newsrc.eld file available, if that's of any assistance.
Thanks,
Mark

Then it looks like your group parameters are fubar. nnml:tim
shouldn't have a expiry-wait of 60, shouldn't it? Your ascii art
group buffer indicated otherwise.
(It could also be a bug of course, but more checking why those
functions return what they do would be needed before that is proven.)

I've just been doing some tests to ensure that functions are returning
what I expect. I've also realised that I made an error before when
showing what (gnus-group-find-parameter "nnml:tim" 'expiry-wait) etc
evaluated to.
I've actually got my gnus-select-method set to "nnml", so prefixing the
group with nnml: probably wasn't necessary. Without this, the lines
before evaluate to:
> (gnus-group-find-parameter "tim" 'expiry-wait)
nil
> (gnus-group-find-parameter "ding" 'expiry-wait)
60
> (gnus-group-find-parameter "tim" 'expiry-target)
nil
> (gnus-group-find-parameter "ding" 'expiry-target)
nil
Which is more consistent with my ascii diagram from before - groups such
as "tim" under the "People" topic don't get expired at all, whereas
groups under the "Discussion" topic get deleted after 60 days.
I might poke around with different configurations and see if I can
pinpoint the error a little more precisely. If I come up with anything
that looks like a bug, I'll let you know.
Thanks again for your help :o)
