I think this is intentional, `display' arrays works by limiting the
articles in the generated summary buffer. Making it always generate
the whole summary buffer and then limiting it to what you want would
be slow.

I guess you could bind the key sequence C-u SPC / p to SPC if you
really want the behaviour.

Btw, I fixed a bug that made the `display' parameter be applied even
if you used C-u SPC to enter the group.

Are you sure? So I can set display to all, to see all mails new as well
as expired, and I can set display to default to only see new mails, but
I cant set i to view everything but expired mails. Without doing some
rebindings of keybindings. I think this should be documented then.

It worked until Lars applied some stuff at 2001-08-23 18:43:05.
