The scoring code, like the newsrc code, was designed to make use of a common format. The new code may or may not honor more or less items now, but the format of the file should be the same since it's one a number of similar apps use. Thus, where it can use the data it will, where it can't, it should just ignore it, provided it's in the standard format so it can still parse it well enough to figure out where stuff begins and ends, meaning parsing the same file should be just fine. (That's without any specific knowledge of the new code, only knowing the general origin and reason behind the original format.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
