Running Oort Gnus 0.07.
1. I am trying to set nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets to a value such that all
articles matching "to" or "cc" to a regexp are expired into
"nnml:expired.%Y-%m", and the others are expired to 'delete. How should
I specify 'delete as an option?
2. As a workaround, I tried setting the following based on what I found in
the info:
(setq nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
'(("to" "pranav" "nnml:expired.%Y-%m")
("from" ".*" "nnml:expired-other.%Y-%m")))
The problem with this is that the articles in nndraft:draft don't have a
from string and I get an error whenever I try to send a message which is
saved in drafts folder. I also get an error if I try to DEL something in
drafts group.
Any hints on what nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets should be set to?

With the current implementation, you can't. But see the end of the
post for a workaround.

Yup. I set the group-parameter expiry-target to 'delete on the
nndrafts group so that it doesn't go through the fancy expiry
process.

Articles that don't match anything in nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets are
'deleted. So what you want in 1. can be achieved via
(setq nnmail-fancy-expiry-targets
'(("to" "pranav" "nnml:expired.%Y-%m")
("cc" "pranav" "nnml:expired.%Y-%m")))
You will still need to make sure that nndrafts groups don't use
n-f-e-t.
