I have my download Delete Downloaded News Older Than set to Never Delete, but I also want to Add Title As A Tag, which means the Keep At Most Option is also set.

The note says that "the settings for deleting periodicals older than the number of days, below, take priority over this setting" but I recently checked and found that this wasn't the case. Calibre was silently deleting issues based on the Keep At Most setting.

Two examples are
TheAtlantic.com (10 issues) and The Mainichi (60 issues)

A couple of exceptions allow the Keep At Most option to save All Issues (e.g.: The Economist and The Atlantic). But the two examples I noted do not offer that option.

Of course, I can set it to a ridiculously high number, but it would be better if Never Delete actually worked.
