I'd even go so far as to say that I like it. But there are times that I just want to delete something, and I don't want it to stick around for X days. Why? Spam, large email messages, reminder email messages -- stuff that is really trash. So the question is, can I do it both ways, mark some messages as expirable and some as delete-it-now? For reference, my current group parameters are: (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 60) Thanks! -- Regards, joe Joe Casadonte jcasadonte@northbound-train.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Llama Fresh Farms => http://www.northbound-train.com Gay Media Resource List => http://www.northbound-train.com/gaymedia.html Perl for Win32 => http://www.northbound-train.com/perlwin32.html Emacs Stuff => http://www.northbound-train.com/emacs.html Music CD Trading => http://www.northbound-train.com/cdr.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Free, that's the message! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
