Pan's scoring works only on the normal but limited set overview headers, so it's not even possible to score based on all headers, let alone the content or the message as a whole. Even if it did, the only existing mechanism is the scoring mechanism; there's no method for filtering out one part of the content and not showing it. Attachments, MIME or otherwise, do that to some extent, but if it's text and not an attachment, even if it's a separate MIME part with a boundary, it's shown. To change that would require either being a C++ coder and delving into the code yourself, or having the necessary money to sponsor someone with the coding skills to do it if you don't have them yourself. Elsewise, you can file an enhancement/feature-request bug, and maybe it'll get in eventually, but this isn't a common request, and while I may be wrong, it doesn't strike me as something Charles is likely to take a strong fancy to and just implement because he likes the idea, so it's likely to be targeted "bluesky", which means, it'd be nice... someday... likely years from now. So practically speaking, if you're really set on this feature and you're /not/ a C++ coder, you'll probably want to find another news client that either implements a feature like this already, or has a scripting language implemented to allow expanded functionality. If you're an EMACS fan, gnus, implemented in EMACS LISP, is an example of the latter. It's quite possibly an already implemented feature for it, and if not, implementing it, for an already EMACS/LISP fan, should be relatively easy. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
