Howto kill all but a few articles in a group?

Howto kill all but a few articles in a group?

[Stefan Waldherr]

Hi,

I have this one newsgroup in which I only want to keep articles with `call' or
similar (Call, etc.) subjects in it. As scoring is faster than killing, I
though that simply having a file

	nntp+news.uni-stuttgart.de:de.comm.mobil.SCORE

with

;; articles with less than -1000 get removed from summary
(
 ("subject"
  ;; nuke everything
  (".*" -1001 nil R)
  ;; but leave stuff with call
  ("[cC][aA][lL][lL]" 0 nil R)
  )
)

would do the job. Well, apparently not. It seems that gnus does not apply the
entries sequentially. Any hints?

Thanks,
Stefan.

It does, but it ADDS UP the scores, it doesn't SET it.  So, change the 0
to 1001.
