I am sorry to return to this horse which has perhaps been beaten enough. But I still don't know and don't understand (_after_ reading the docs) if I can, at the same time:
1. completely disable expiry 2. force a sync of the journal I just saw with my own eyes that passing --sync to sa-learn does _not_ necessarily force one. (The manpage is ambiguous about it.) But I don't want to pass --force-expire because of 1. I am asking in the context of using the default db backend for Bayes, but if there is a way to do this with one of the other options, I'll consider it. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
