The way I'm seeing this whole arguement is this: Lars is saying that headers will be `scored' to determine if the article will be auto-downloaded. Rich is fearing that this means that the scoring to determine whether to show an article in the summary will be affected by lowering the auto-download score for articles that are too big, which could push articles scores low enough that they are not displayed. As long as the display scores affect the auto-download scores, and not vice-versa, I don't see any problem with using scoring to determine auto-downloadablity. If the auto-download scores affect the summary display scores one could well end up with problems . . . hope this helps, Suika -- wrobert2@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu No matter how big a pair she's got, an enemy is an enemy. --Moroboshi Ataru
