Back to my bad habit of resurrecting old threads :) Do you really score "bad" messages with _negative_ scores? The manual says (section 3.24): A message's final score is the sum total of all matching score entries. However, you may optionally prefix value with an equal sign (“=”) to cause evaluation to stop at a particular entry if there is a match. Negative final scores are rounded up to 0. ... so, no matter how "bad" a message is (let's say, a top post, a thread hijack, an ALL CAPS subject, and unlimited line length LOL), the worst it can score is 0. Am I right? I haven't used mutt scoring yet, so I am trying to learn how to best put it to my purposes. It seems to me that for flagging "badness" positive scores would be much more convenient. Am I missing something as usual? -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
