Scoring on From: with non-ascii chars

Scoring on From: with non-ascii chars

[Pavel Janík ml.]

Hi,

I have just increased the score on the From: on Kai's letter in
gnu.emacs.help. I did the same thing (I a e p) fourth time and my score
file contains five lines with Kai's name and full address. However, Gnus do
not score Kai's articles higher, because he uses sharp S in his name. Can
anyone test it?

You should use a numerical argument like (2 0 0 I a e p) or use (I A)
which scores with the default of 1000. Scoring with (I A) results in
a temporary score entry, though.

Not quite what you need, but you can increase the score either on a
regular expression in which you replace the special character(s) with
a wildcard or by using a substring which is reduced to the
mail-address only. This would be sufficient and doesn't contain
non-ascii characters.

I cannot confirm the behavior you described. Try using a numerical
argument for increasing the score like this:

2 0 0 I a e p 

Another way is using `I A' which produces a default score of 1000. The
created score entry is temporary, though.

It works for me. Gnus does score Kai's articles higher, after I used
`I A'. If I look into the contents of the score file, I can't see
the sharp S correctly though, I only see a small circle

But the scoring works nevertheless.

I thought it might work for me because I have 

    (setq score-mode-coding-system mm-auto-save-coding-system)

in my .gnus.el file. I added this because of Shenghuo ZHU's message
Message-ID: <5bk8g55os3.fsf@heart.cs.rochester.edu> in this mailing list.
For being able to score Japanese subjects this line seems to be necessary.

But scoring Kai's messages works for me even if I remove this line again.

How temporary is "temporary", then?

<cite source=info-gnus-scoring>
   There are two sorts of scoring entries: Permanent and temporary.
Temporary score entries are self-expiring entries.  Any entries that are
temporary and have not been used for, say, a week, will be removed
silently to help keep the sizes of the score files down.
</cite>

Which variable, then, determines how long entries will be kept in the
score file if they are "temporary"?
Do the temp entries go away only after they have been unused for, say,
a week?

hmm, probably I did not wrote it clearly. When I do Iaep it scores Kai's
mails. Ok. Just Tick (!) one of them and close the current summary buffer
(q). Enter the same group again. Kai's mails are NOT scored higher even I
have his name in the score file, because the score file entry does not
match the From:header, because he has ISO-8859-1 letter in this header. Is
it the same for you who told me that I can not score letters? :-) I use
scoring very heavily by almost every header you can find and have no
problems except this one :-(

`gnus-score-expiry-days' is a variable declared in Lisp.
  -- loaded from "gnus-score"

Value: 30   <- default is 7

Documentation:
*Number of days before unused score file entries are expired.
If this variable is nil, no score file entries will be expired.

It will work in a Latin-1 or unibyte session, as will scoring on a
Latin-2 `í'.

Clearly score files need to use emacs-mule coding or, rather, whatever
the Gnus variable is that abstracts this over Emacs and XEmacs.  At
least in Emacs, an entry for score files in `file-coding-system-alist'
ought to do the trick.

Maybe not. When writing a SCORE file, Gnus binds
coding-system-for-write to score-mode-coding-system (which is binary).

I think it is OK.
