I think this is the best solution. It is obvious what it does. If you tried to take a.b.SCORE and a.SCORE into account, then the next step would be to also take gnus-parameters into account, and so forth. Down that path lies madness. After all, the hierarchical score file stuff is defined to work on the group name, so it is not surprising that a different group name leads to different score rules. However, what you should do when renaming the gruop a.b.c to a.b, I don't know. Perhaps just signal an error explaining the situation. Kai
