Hi,

I'm about to try the nnmaildir backend, and I'm slightly confused by what
the manual says about expiry. Is it necessary to set

(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
 	(nnmaildir ""
[...]
		   (expire-age never)))

in order to retain the default behaviour that no articles are expired
"unless otherwise stated"?

(I use Gnus 5.10.2)

Greetings,
