Hello,

I recently upgraded to:

    Gnus v5.10.7
    XEmacs 21.4 (patch 17) "Jumbo Shrimp" [Lucid]
        (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) of Wed Jun 29 2005 on animas

and expiring articles appears to have stopped working.  From my
environment:

    (setq gnus-summary-prepare-exit-hook
          '(spam-summary-prepare-exit gnus-summary-expire-articles))
    (setq gnus-summary-article-expire-hook
          '(gnus-registry-action))
    (setq nnmail-expiry-wait 56)

One of my folders:

    nnfolder+spool:diversions.merriam-webster

has the group parameters:

    ((auto-expire . t)
     (expiry-wait . 28))

and the message:

    E  [  37: word@m-w.com        ] Thu, Jun  9 2005 quincunx: ...

When I exit the group the following minibuffer messages are displayed:

    Expiring articles...done
    Deleting articles...done
    Expiring articles...

but the article isn't deleted (even though it's more than 28 days
beyond June 9).  This is definitely a change of behavior associated
with the upgrade.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

Bill
