Articles are marked as expirable automatically if the group has the
'auto-expire' property set to t. You can set it for a group by typing
'G p' over the name of the group in the *Group* buffer and then adding
this property to the parameter list of the group:
(auto-expire . t)
By default groups have no properties, so you will see 'nil' as their
property list:
nil
You can replace this with a list that contains only a cons cell with
auto-expire:
((auto-expire . t))
You can enable multiple group properties, e.g.:
((auto-expire . t)
