This message is from `gnus-agent-expire-done-message', i.e. it is related to the expiry of the agent cache. I think[1] it has nothing to do with your previous `gnus-summary-delete-article' command. `gnus-summary-delete-article' deletes immediately. Bye, Reiner.

OK, thanks. I checked and the messages are being deleted. It is still annoying. Do you know where I should look to get rid of the message or fix whatever is wrong? Thanks.

Maybe the message level (confer `C-h v gnus-verbose RET' [1]) is too low: It is at level 4. [ I cannot judge if the levels in gnus-agent.el should be adjusted. Kevin (Cc-ed in this message), could you comment on this? ] When you set `gnus-verbose' to 3 or less, the expiry message will disappear, but this also makes other parts of Gnus more quiet.

Well, the gnus-agent-expire* functions were originally written for manual (i.e. administrative) use. I added the status messsage because it was rather hard to tell whether the enough groups had been expired. Since that time, agent expiration has been linked into article expiration (gnus-request-expire-articles). This was done to actually fix a bug in which expired articles kept reappearing in the summary buffer. You find the message to be annoying. Can you indicate how annoying? I can easily change the message level but I'll probably annoy those users who expect the message to appear. Still, re-reading gnus-verbose for the Nth time, I probably should have made this a level 6, or possibly 7, message rather than the current 4.

As the default of `gnus-verbose' is 7, it would be okay to adjust the levels for consistency. > Still, re-reading gnus-verbose for the Nth time, I probably should > have made this a level 6, or possibly 7, message rather than the > current 4. Maybe you implemented it before `gnus-verbose' got its doc string (there was just a comment previously).
