Agent Expiry
------------

   `nnagent' doesn't handle expiry.  Instead, there's a special
`gnus-agent-expire' command that will expire all read articles that are
older than `gnus-agent-expire-days' days.  It can be run whenever you
feel that you're running out of space.  It's not particularly fast or
efficient, and it's not a particularly good idea to interrupt it (with
`C-g' or anything else) once you've started it.

   if `gnus-agent-expire-all' is non-`nil', this command will expire
all articles--unread, read, ticked and dormant.  If `nil' (which is the
default), only read articles are eligible for expiry, and unread,
ticked and dormant articles will be kept indefinitely.
