I use

 (display .
          [not expire])

as a group parameter for all mail groups.  (I have all of my mail groups
under a "Mail" topic, and I have this set for the topic.)

The nice thing about this is that you can do `/ w' to run the command
gnus-summary-pop-limit which will show the expired articles if you have
reason to look for them.
