I am not very expert but if there is anything I can do here (for example I can use wireshark), let me know. <snip> > > The question is this. Is there any way to edit my > > scoring rules? > > Yes.

I had already looked for something like a score text file and could not find one. It turns out that I had a News sub-directory in my home directory (I don't even recall creating it) and Pan had put the Score file there. Something else which does seem a little odd to me is that I can no longer find a way of setting a universal rule. Under 14.2 and predecessors, when I found a post with (eg "Sex movies") in the title I could set such a rule to govern all subscribed groups. It seems that now I have to do it relative to the group in which the post is found and if I use the most universal option ("Group Name Doesn't Contain"), then that group will be omitted even though this is where the offending post was first found. Is this deliberate? Am I missing something? Geoff ___________________________________________________________ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!
