I see you both understand my point. Yes, it needs to indicate clearly 
what is meant, because, as it is now, Auto-expire does not actually do 
any auto-expiring, unlike play or delete buttons which do what they 
say.  All it does is set a flag that let's it auto-expire later.  

I like this last suggestion above, and it is so easy to fix.
