Nothing so complicated. In addition to static SCORE files
(one per group/mailinglist, where my hand crafted rules (increase
author substring permanent) go in), it has a per group/mailinglist
ADAPT file as well, where automatically generated rules go. The
rules are generated based on actions I take on articles.
here are the rules I use for actions (I may read an article,
delete it, kill the thread, tick it to mark it persistent, etc). Each
action marks the article in some way. For each mark, I specify scores
to be added for various headers (usually from , the subject, or
followup headers).
Sounds complicated, but it isn't really -- I just deal with
articles as I would, and slowly Gnus adapts to my likes.
