tdx-util/expire question and overchan question

Hi William,

Hmm...  I wonder whether we should worry about that warning.
It does no harm, doesn't it?

As you are using CNFS buffers, it is normal that some articles
are expiring sooner in your spool than in your overview (and
also history).  Expiry, during the night, will actually expire
these articles.

    Shouldn't we add in parenthesis after such lines
    "(normal for self-expiring storage methods like CNFS)"?

GROUP answers the numbers known by the overview:  1913-1915.
But there is no 1913.  And only 2 articles in your spool.

tdx-util fixed that.
(As for ctlinnd renumber, it puts in the active file the numbers
from the overview.)

I don't know the reason.
I would have to see how expireover works when groupbaseexpiry
is set to false.

A problem with sed.  It shouldn't give you

PATS="^fr[.   ]|^frï.[.       ]|^frà 15, 13, 10 et à
7.[.     ]|^fr : achat, vente, location...[.     ]"
(to put only the first two lines)
