Hi,
I noticed that my *.SCORE files are being reformatted by gnus, thus
not only chaning the indentation, but removing comments etc. Is this a
bug or a feature? If latter, can it be turned off? Thanks.

I think it's a feature. Otherwise, expiring score entries and the
interactive scoring commands wouldn't work (or would be very, very hard
to implement in a satisfactory manner).

You can put the stuff that requires extensive comments (for example,
tricky regexps) into a separate file, put `(read-only t)' into it,
and include this file from the regular score file using `(file "blah")'.
But as a result, Gnus sometimes selects the wrong default score file
for the interactive scoring files (i.e., one of the read-only files).
You can correct that with
(setq gnus-home-score-file 'gnus-score-file-name)
in your ~/.gnus file.

I see. Haven't thought of it. Thanks.

You can probably write it as (comment "....") at the outermost level in
the score alist, since Gnus appears to ignore unrecognized score
entries. I just put
((comment "foobar")
("subject"
("\\<Maxtemp\\>" -1000 nil r)
...more scores...)
in a *.SCORE file and used the I command to modify it, and the comment
stayed put. Though I wouldn't try to put a comment inside a list of
scores, e.g. between "subject" and ("\\<Maxtemp\\>" ...).

Thank you, that's certainly a good idea. Will try it.
