Has somebody done, or could they suggest a way to do, a method of
scoring I could use in a mailing list to score down mail that has more
lines starting with > than otherwise.
Generally I find it pretty annoying when somebody quotes pretty much
the entire thread so far, and adds a "me to" comment of 1 line plus a
10 lines of signature on the end of that.
I think I'd like to score up messages where content is greater than
quotation, and penalise heavily a message where content is less than
say 10% of the lines in a message.
I think this will catch the "me to" thread quoters, and the flame bait,
reply to each point of your message type posters.

More and more people seem to be interested in this. Maybe you could
pool your resources with Frederick and Thilo?
(Frederick and Thilo, I hope you don't mind being mentioned and cc'd
here.)

I think the way to implement this would be to add a `f' "match" type
to the body score thing. Then the "match" could be a user-defined (or
pre-defined) function that would return the score of the article.
Then we could have a function that returned a score based on the
ratio between quoted text and new text.
Anybody want to implement this?
