You will certainly want to compare notes with SciFi, a regular use on this list, then. He is, I believe, the biggest OSX expert here. You may wish to check the list archive for his posts and see if there's anything useful you can get from them. AFAIK, he also has (or had, perhaps the fixes are all merged, now) a github pan repo, with I believe a number of OSX-specific fixes for various things. I don't know if he follows HM/judgefudge's github repo or just khaley's (which is more conservative and the direct upline to what ultimately becomes the public releases after going thru the official gnome repo via Petr Kovar). You could also possibly cherry-pick the OSX- specific commits from SciFi's repo and apply them to HM/judgefudge's repo, if you want both leading edge and OSX-specific fixes. SciFi should be able to give you rather more detail both about pan on OSX and about his specific fixes, if any, so it's definitely worth trying to contact him directly, if he doesn't respond here within a few days. > how I could use additional X-headers such as X-Authenticated-User: > or NNTP-Posting-Host: for scoring? > > In Score this don't work: > %BOS > %Score created by Pan on Wed Sep 28 06:26:18 2011 > [~xxxxxx] > Score:: -600 > X-Authenticated-User: ^$$m$x1dqu63w4useridf$ > %EOS You don't mention where you got your pan scorefile formatting info from or what details you may or may not know about it. So here's the format documentation links I keep around, here, for referring to myself, and for posting when people ask about it: The scorefile follows SLRN's format in general, tho AFAIK pan doesn't understand some of the advanced stuff like the include statement, and pan's scores are case-insensitive with keyword: , case-sensitive with keyword= . http://www.slrn.org/docs/score.txt Here's a second document, the xnews scorefile doc. xnews uses a similar style, but it takes group regexes, while slrn and pan use shell-style *- wildcards only, for groups, NOT regexes. http://xnews.remarqs.net/scoring.txt Originally, pan only accepted the much more limited set of header keywords listed in the xnews doc, basically, the ones in the overviews. But... reasonably recent pan (from 0.134 or 0.135, since khaley took over as lead code monkey) *SHOULD* score on ALL headers, *IF* setup correctly, according to khaley. But, there's two caveats. First, as you obviously know by now, you must edit the scorefile directly to setup non-overview header scores, as pan's GUI doesn't handle them. Second, and this *MIGHT* be what's getting you: ** PAN CAN ONLY SCORE ON OVERVIEW HEADERS PRE-DOWNLOAD, OTHERS SCORES WON'T APPLY UNTIL AFTER DOWNLOAD ** This is because overviews only contain a relatively limited set of headers, from, to, date, lines/size, message-id and references, etc. Pan doesn't see the other headers until after it has actually downloaded the articles, and it obviously can't score on data it hasn't yet seen. X-Authenticated-User isn't going to be in the overviews, for most servers, so pan can only score on it post-download. It's quite possible you already realized this, and pan isn't scoring on it even after download. But you don't say either way, so... Meanwhile, based on the below, you know about the initial ~ negation, and it appears you know regular expressions (but I suspect some regex formatting problems, see below). However, the above includes comments (the lines starting with %, so the % BOS, %EOS, and %Score created by... lines), which you don't specifically mention /as/ comments, so I'm not sure if you're taking them as required, based on pan putting them there, or if you realized that they /are/ comments. Anyway, FWIW, I removed the %BOS and %EOS comments from my scorefile, and actually combined a whole bunch of sections (denoted by the [newsgroup] lines) and scores, *VASTLY* simplifying my scorefile. Of course, that means I generally edit it by hand, except for the real temporary stuff. Similarly, I remove the created on date comments for the permanent stuff, only keeping it for the temporary stuff with expires, thus again simplifying things by removing what is mostly just "pan comment noise", once you understand the format reasonably well. Oh, and leading spaces are ignored, so you can indent as makes sense to you. Here, I'm not indenting, since indents can unnecessarily complicate quoting and wrapping in replies. So these are the operative lines (re-quoted): > [~xxxxxx] > Score:: -600 > X-Authenticated-User: ^$$m$x1dqu63w4useridf$ > the string $$m$x1dqu63w4useridf is the user ID on the NNTP server and > posted in the header > > The original line in header: > X-Authenticated-User: $$m$x1dqu63w4useridf OK, you haven't made clear whether you're expecting pan to be able to score on that BEFORE download, like it does with the from header (which *IS* in overviews, so it can do so), or whether you know it can't do that, and are reporting that it isn't scoring AFTER download, either, which AFAIK, according to khaley, it should. Assuming that it's not working AFTER download either, then we have a problem. Have you tried simplifying the score at least temporarily? What if you try something as simple as this, which should apply to EVERY post with an X-Authenticated-User header. (FWIW, I chose the =5000 so if you have the colorcoding setup correctly in preferences, it should be reasonably easy to spot, and a positive score so you shouldn't have problems with it being hidden if you have below-zero posts hidden by default, of course, scores aren't permanent, so we can add this for testing only, then delete it and force a rescore, and pan should return to normal scoring as if we'd never tried this one): [~xxxxxx] Score: =5000 X-Authenticated-User: ^.*$ If that works, but ONLY AFTER downloading the message so it can see the header in question, as I suspect it SHOULD, then we know it's scoring on the header as it should, but tripping up on the regex you tried to use. Here's your attempted regex line again: > X-Authenticated-User: ^$$m$x1dqu63w4useridf$ You are trying to match: > $$m$x1dqu63w4useridf As you know if you know regexes, $ is the regex symbol for right-anchor, end of line. (^ is the symbol for left-anchor, beginning of line.) The problem, I suspect, is that you're not escaping (with a backslash, see the slrn doc examples) those end-of-lines. Since the first symbol pan sees in the regex is $, it's parsing that as end-of-line, thus, the header would have to be there but empty in ordered to match your score. If the ^.*$ test worked (^ is left anchor, . is any character, * means any number of the previous, so together .* means any number of any character, $ is end of line, so we have beginning of line/header, any number of any character, including no characters at all, end of line, and it should thus always match if that header appears at all), try this instead (be sure and delete the ^.*$ test tho, or it'll stop on the first one it sees due to the =5000 score: [~xxxxxx] Score: =1111 X-Authenticated-User: \$\$m\$x1dqu63w4useridf That is without anchors so it should indeed match the desired header content, but it might match others that include it, too. But we first want to get it working, then try to narrow the scope and make sure it keeps working. So assuming that works, now we'll try it with the anchors (again, delete the test above first): [~xxxxxx] Score: =2222 X-Authenticated-User: ^\$\$m\$x1dqu63w4useridf$ If that too works, now, again, only after download since we're dealing with a non-overview header, then the final bit is to change that score to your desired score: [~xxxxxx] Score: -600 X-Authenticated-User: ^\$\$m\$x1dqu63w4useridf$ One final note. That's a /relative/ -600. So other score matches can increase or decrease it. That may or may not be what you want. If you want it set to -600, absolute (and to quite processing further relative scores), use =-600 instead of just -600. > This works well > %BOS > %Score created by Pan on Mon Oct 3 10:21:15 2011 > [~xxxxxx] > Score:: =-606 > From: ^name@domain\.com \(Name Equall\)$ > %EOS Four things to note (mostly repeat/reinforcement from above) here. First, the scoring is on the from header, which is in overviews, so this score should work pre-download. Second, it's using = scoring, so it sets an absolute =-606 to anything matching (provided it didn't match any previous absolute scores and thus never got this far), and quits looking for further matches. Third, again, the %... lines are comments. Fourth, note the backslash escaping of the . and (). =:^) > [~xxxxxx] (is not xxxxxx) works as Joker for all groups > [*] don't work What about [*.*] ? (What sort of group name doesn't contain a . at all? None I've ever come across.) But you found something that's working already, so why bother changing? So it's just for the sake of argument. It's worth repeating here, as it's a common source of confusion. section/ group lines take * wildcards, **NOT** the regex format used in header matches. > ..... > How can I change, expand the selection at / Article / add new rating .. > / From the article .... > > In German /Artikel/Neue Wertung hinzufügen ../Und die Artikel .... > ..... > The next X-Header I want to use for scoring is the NNTP-Posting-Host: > and with a Joker for a part of the hostname looks like this > NNTP-Posting-Host: *.hostname.domain.com * is the ip from the posting > host and a Joker is needed ..... The discussion above should have answered that, but if not, try NNTP-Posting-Host: \.hostname\.domain\.com$ Again, ^ left-anchors but we do NOT want that here. The first part doesn't matter, and unanchored is one way to do that. A single dot matches any single character, so to match ONLY a dot, use the backslash escape (otherwise both xhostname and x.hostname would match, we want a dot and only a dot). We *DO* want it anchored at the end, thus the $ (otherwise, it'd match .com , .command , .compass ...). Alternatively, with a left-anchor and explicit "match anything" bit immediately after it: NNTP-Posting-Host: ^.*\.hostname\.domain\.com$ (Now do you see why I couldn't really handle all that when I was too tired to think straight, with jacked up blood sugar as well? But hopefully the answer was worth the wait! =:^) > Plus and minus scoring appear interchanged in the pan German version > too. That's covered in other replies, but briefly, HM just caught that maybe a week or two ago and already has it changed in his git repo. However, I don't believe that patch has made it to khaley's mainline repo (lostcoder on github) yet, or from there to the offcial gnome repo via pkovar. > Could I attach some screenshots in this mailing list too? Attachments should work, yes. But please be considerate of others' bandwidth and don't overdo it. 256-color pngs of just a dialog window should be fine. Full-screen 24-bit or 32-bit color pngs really aren't appropriate, tho you probably won't get much complaint for a one-off, but might if you do several. For something big like that, I'd recommend uploading it to your webspace, or imagebin.org (good for a couple weeks only, tho), or the like, and posting the link and description. > PS: Please excuse my bad english, my native language is German, I live > in Austria :-) As the saying goes, you speak far better English than I do German! =:^) Seriously, you write English better than many native speakers. One final thing. I and others have mentioned repos a few times, but it occurs to me that you may not know where they are. You'll need to have git installed to fetch the git sources, but you can just browse via the web interface. Of course, these are sources, so to do anything more than look, you'll need to know how to build them locally. official gnome repo (releases are made off of this): http://git.gnome.org/pan2 git://git.gnome.org/pan2 pkovar's github repo (from which the gnome repo is pulled) https://github.com/pmkovar/pan2 git://github.com/pmkovar/pan2 khaley/lostcoder's github repo (mainline from which pkovar pulls) https://github.com/lostcoder/pan2 git://github.com/lostcoder/pan2 judgefudge hmueller/judgefudge's github repo (leading edge experimental) https://github.com/judgefudge/pan2 git://github.com/judgefudge/pan2 There's also jlynch/aexoden's github repo. I noticed this browsing github one day, but he doesn't appear to be active here, and I really don't have much info on it but what's easily apparent from a 5 minute browse of the repo via https. I DO know that a couple of his patches have made it into mainline, tho. https://github.com/aexoden/pan2 git://github.com/aexoden/pan2 -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
