Description Christopher Lee 2006-03-10 15:33:49 UTC 
When I used gnus (in Emacs), in the olden days, it had a great option for expiring mail.  Instead of explicitly expunging "deleted" email messages, I let gnus automatically expunge mail I had marked as "deleted" more than a week ago.  This meant that if I deleted a mail, and afterward wanted to look at it again for some reason, I generally could.  After 1 week, there was little chance I would change my mind and want to look at a message I had deleted.  And I didn't have to keep manually expunging my deleted messages either.

Is this a kind of functionality a plug-in could provide?

Thanks for the bug report.
I think i've seen this before in bugzilla, but just cannot find the original bug report. At least this is related to bug 227718.

Bumping version to a stable release.
