Indeed, but of course the solution is to not add score rules using all-headers/body, not to disable scoring entirely! The "normal" scoring rules seem quite fast to me, essentially in the noise for my usage (mostly netnews though). I suppose if you're on a very old and slow machine, you might not want to use them. And the as the GP says, the utility of scoring is quite high. -Miles -- Opposition, n. In politics the party that prevents the Goverment from running amok by hamstringing it.
