A feature to keep the last n zephyrs in owl would be useful.  This could 
be done automatically such that the oldest zephyr was deleted (and maybe 
expunged) when a new zephyr comes in and there are already n zephyrs.

Alternatively, it could be manually with some sort of keystroke or 
command to mark all but the last n (or mark the first m) for deletion.

I couldn't figure out any filter that would handle this, but perhaps I 
just miss something.  Right now, every few days, I put a nickle wrapper 
filled with nickles on my d key and let it sit there for a few minutes 
to mass-delete old zephyrs.
