+Archive expiry
+--------------
+
+Messages in the archive will expire after some time, by default one
+week. This can be changed by setting `archive_expires_after`:
+
+``` {.lua}
+archive_expires_after = "1d" -- one day
+
+archive_expires_after = "1w" -- one week, the default
+
+archive_expires_after = "2m" -- two months
+
+archive_expires_after = "1y" -- one year
+
+archive_expires_after = 60 * 60 -- one hour
+
+archive_expires_after = "never" -- forever
+```
+
+The format is an integer number of seconds or a multiple of a period
+given by a suffix that can be one of `d` (day), `w` (week), `m` (month)
+or `y` (year). No multiplier means seconds.
