Package: gnus

Hello,

If you perform the following steps:

1. Enter an nnimap group with expiry-target set to another nnimap group,
   and expiry-wait 'immediate.
2. Select an unread article, mark it as read
3. Also mark the article for expiry
4. Leave the group

.. then the article will be in the target group, but it will still be
unread.

As far as I can tell, this is because Gnus is running
nn*-request-expire-articles *before* nn*-request-set-mark rather than
the other way around.


Best,
-Nikolaus
