Documentation

Variable that says where expired messages should end up.

The default value is delete (which says to delete the messages), but it can also be a string or a function. If it is a string, expired messages end up in that group. If it is a function, the function is called in a buffer narrowed to the message in question. The function receives one argument, the name of the group the message comes from. The return value should be delete or a group name (a string).

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 21.1.
