Scoring on extra headers?

Scoring on extra headers?

[Jean-Yves Perrier]

In the gnus info I found:

Is there a way to perform scoring on another header (an X-... header in my case)?

Yes, yes....

I always wanted to score on X-Newsreader or User-agent to give a plus to
people using Gnus... ;-)

I looked myself deeper in the info file and find the answer to my question.

We can add something like this in the score file:

(((&
  ("from" "Jean-Yves Perrier")
  ("head" "^Importance:.*high" r))
 100))

(this follows extended scoring syntax)

The extension key is therefore the "head"!
The third parameter, r, means regexp.

Yes.  It is described right after the text you quote above.  :-)

     ...In addition to these headers, there are three
     strings to tell Gnus to fetch the entire article and do the match
     on larger parts of the article: `Body' will perform the match on
     the body of the article, `Head' will perform the match on the head
     of the article, and `All' will perform the match on the entire
     article.  Note that using any of these last three keys will slow
     down group entry *considerably*.  The final "header" you can score
     on is `Followup'.  These score entries will result in new score
     entries being added for all follow-ups to articles that matches
     these score entries.

So to match on an X-My-Header: header value of "readme," the score entry
would look something like this (untested):

 ("head" 
  ("^X-My-Header:.*readme" 100 nil r))

This will be really slow (as noted above).
