These correspond to the last field in the ~bboards/BBoards file. If the bb_flags is 0, the bboard isn't touched. If it's 01, "old" messages are saved in ~bboards/archive/<foo>.mbox, if it's 02, they're just deleted. See the program bbexp.c in mh-6.6/support/bboards. There are a couple constants defined for how long messages last until they're considered "old". -- John Romine
