adaptive scoring: how to change value below which articles are marked as read?

adaptive scoring: how to change value below which articles are marked as read?

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I am using adaptive scoring now and it's generally working quite
well.  It's taken me a little time to get the right balance through
setting the values of various marks etc. but I seem to have stabilised
on a combination that works for me.

However, the default for articles to be marked automatically as read
seems to be a value below -50.  I would like this value to be somewhat
lower, e.g. -300 as suggested in the manual:

    If you use this scheme, you should set the score file atom ‘mark’ to
    something small—like -300, perhaps, to avoid having small random
    changes result in articles getting marked as read.

My question is simple: how do I "set the score file atom 'mark'"?

Thanks,
eric

Customize the score file and search for "Mark".

Thanks.

I did solve the problem: the variable to customise is
gnus-summary-mark-below.

However, as the info documentation didn't make sense to me, I would like
to also make sense of what you have suggested.  What exactly do you mean
by customising a score file?  The xxx.ADAPT file gnus creates does not
have "Mark" in it.

Thanks again,
eric

Type V C (gnus-score-customize) while in the summary buffer.

Sigh.  There's always a command that I didn't know about.  Many thanks.

Please ignore.  Although the manual, I believe, doesn't really say how
to set the value for marking as read based on score, I did find this
variable eventually: gnus-summary-mark-below.

thanks and sorry for the noise,
eric
