Hope that helps. I could ask sysadmin what we are using if the above
isn't enough to answer the question.

OK. So we are free to hack on this one then. Should be easy.

OK.

Well why not!

Why do we need to rely on anything else than what is in gnus
already. Gnus knows when an article marked for expiery is to be
deleted so it is a simple matter of deleteing them. I had hoped that
the expiery stuff wouldn't be a matter for the backends anyway. Maybe
it is. I need to understand how the expiery works I guess.

This seems to be the next things after byte compiling I'd say. Let's
go for it.
