In very high volume groups, I use the score rule (orphan -1) to reduce
the score of articles if the root of the thread is not around, and I
expunge articles with a negative score. That way I see each thread
once, and can choose to raise the score if I want to see further
articles. It would be great if the agent would not bother downloading
such articles. I don't think this score rule requires anything other
than the headers the agent has access to. Would it be possible to
have the agent handle this score rule?

I've now added this to the todo list.
