This bears repeating one more time, with some spurious capitalizations: IF you do NOT mark articles as EXPIRABLE, Gnus will NEVER delete those ARTICLES. +@vindex gnus-auto-expirable-marks You do not have to mark articles as expirable by hand. Gnus provides two features, called ``auto-expire'' and ``total-expire'', that can help you with this. In a nutshell, ``auto-expire'' means that Gnus hits @kbd{E} for you when you select an article. And ``total-expire'' means that Gnus considers all articles as expirable that are read. So, in addition to the articles marked @samp{E}, also the articles marked @samp{r}, -@samp{R}, @samp{O}, @samp{K}, @samp{Y} and so on are considered -expirable. +@samp{R}, @samp{O}, @samp{K}, @samp{Y} (and so on) are considered +expirable. @code{gnus-auto-expirable-marks} has the full list of +these marks.
