I think I figured how to do most of what I wish.

;; ---Begin Group parameter section, now!
(setq gnus-parameters
        ;; if all groups are total-expire, by all messages not
        ;; unread,ticked or dormant are expired. Anything I give a low
        ;;enough score to be marked read  will be expired. Will this
        ;; set it for all groups? Did I miss the "proper (heh) way to
        ;; set all to total expire?
      '((".*\\..*"
	 (total-expire . t))
        
        ;; By setting expiry-wait, I can decide how long I have an
        ;; article around. IE, here I've set the "no where else to put
        ;; this" group misc.other to 3, so I have 3 days to decide how
        ;; I want to treat mail from that sender.
	("misc\\.other*"
         (expiry-wait . 3)
        ;; I freely admit: I'm trying the example summary-line-format
        ;; from the mannual just to see how it looks. <grin>

        ;; family, and illuminatti contact.

        ;; Set expiry wait to never: Since there's an immediate option
        ;; as well, I figured that means "process this foo NOW" and

        ;; Or something.
         (expiry-wait . never)
