I've used "gnus-parameters" for yrs to run total-expire with specific expiry-wait periods on certain groups... but there is always this problem.
Gnus wants me to actually open and close these groups before the expiry takes place. Some of the groups I rarely if ever have need of opening unless just to run the expiry code. I want to keep the backlog... just in case I should need to use it. I want to just let these groups move along by themselves and find some way to trick them into thinking the group has been opened and closed so total-expire will be run, or maybe just run code periodically (on auto pilot) that opens and closes the groups. Maybe there is some completely different way to do this: Can anyone tell me how to arrange for certain groups to be opened and closed with no human intervention and for that to be automated? The result I'm after is to have certain groups maintain a specific backlog of messages like 90 days worth or whatever, and to periodically total-expire them down to the actual 90 day backlog, without me actually doing any intervention. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
