You don't mention what version of pan (and your user-agent string says mozilla, presumably you're NOT using gmane.org's list2news gateway to follow this list using pan, or I could get it from the headers), but khaley recently added full-header scoring, altho scoring on non-overview headers won't work until the message is actually downloaded, since that's where the headers are to be found. I believe that made it into 0.135, but believe it's NOT yet in 0.134. I believe the message-id is in the overviews, but there's no GUI to add it as a scoring header yet (only references, upthread message-ids), so it would have to be added to the scorefile manually. Or you could use add subthread (which will use the references header), then edit the scorefile and change the header to message-id manually. Meanwhile, the scorefile uses regular expressions not shell globs for the header scoring. (It uses globbing for the newsgroups entries only, regexes for the individual header match-lines.) Your format above seems to be globbing, not regex, so you need to change that. In particular, "." (dot) means any character, while "*" (star) means 0-or-more-of-the-previous-character. So as-is, you're saying <<<<<&newsxserver> would match (zero or more <, any character can replace the dot). Try Message-ID: <.*@news\.server> Pan's scorefile format is much like slrns, but AFAIK without the fancy stuff like includes. See http://www.slrn.org/docs/score.txt However, it has the case insensitivity (but not the other differences) of the xnews scorefile format: http://xnews.remarqs.net/scoring.txt -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
