In Gnus, if you type '*' while viewing a message, it is not expired
and remains visible.
In Gnus, messages are deleted automatically after a programable time.
In Netscape and other mail readers I've used, "delete" just moves them
to a special folder named "trash", which you have to manually empty.
Yes, they are slightly different metaphors. I prefer Gnus :).

I did not find the mention of other programs objectionable; they were
not a sales pitch, just a mention of features that would be nice to
have in Gnus, or a mention of how to achieve functionality not
available in Gnus. I think that's appropriate. Although, maybe that
should be on a Gnus mailing list, rather than an Emacs one.
