Anyone into writing movie scripts? I just got this idea for one. Call it
Gnusiphos: hubrid user of GNU newsreader/MUA fucks with lesser god and
is punished by having to write a ref-card for it, forming it into a ball
and rolling it up a mountain in Finland. Each time he's close to the
mountain's peak, the lesser God comes along, laughs and throws him Yet
Another Patch.

Now, what does V t give me? This:

("<deathsquad.m3emfnw2ik.fsf@socha.net>" nil 730022 s)  ->  /home/robin/news/score/nnml:DingGnus.SCORE
("Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>" 130 730022 s)  ->  /home/robin/news/score/nnml:DingGnus.ADAPT
("scoring interface" 3 730022 f)  ->  /home/robin/news/score/nnml:DingGnus.ADAPT

This is totally unintuitive. Ok, Gnus *is* unintuitive, but this just
isn't it IYAM. It's not an interface, either - more like an inyerface.

Take gnus-score-edit-current-scores:

(("from"
  ("Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@gnus.org>" 2500 730022 s))
 ("references"
  ("<deathsquad.m3aeqbw27y.fsf@socha.net>[ 	]*$" nil 730022 r)
  ("<deathsquad.m3aeqbw27y.fsf@socha.net>" nil 730022 s)[...]))

I mean, yeah right, I know what this means (I guess...) but who is to
use this? In a less imperfect world, I'd imagine getting something like:

And yes, I like menues - I even like customize.

> `C-u 5 0 0 I A' is the same number of keystrokes as `I A 5 0 0 RET'.

True. Let me try to outsmart you like this: WIBNI if there were more
dialogue-like thingies? Like, hitting "a" asks you who to send it to,
what subject to use and so on. Like, say, pine does ]:-> Don't tell me
this stuff exists. Please.
