Seems there has been some spam software out there that sends mail with
a subject then appends a bunch of spaces and then some presumably
unique tracking number to the end, like:
Don't miss this $700 Give Away 15817
Is there a way to get Gnus to recognize these (preferably in all
groups) and lower their score so I can skip over them? I've been doing
it manually for each one I see with gnus-summary-lower-score (L S) and
it's getting tiresome with the increase in spam.
My emacs regexp skills aren't stellar but I should be able to figure it out
if I know where to begin. Looking for a pattern that ends with (say)
16 or more spaces then 4-6 digits, then the end of line.
Thanks.

That's easy:
" [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?$"
This means at least four and at most six digits. "[0-9]?" is an
optional digit, whereas "[0-9]" (without "?") is a mandatory digit.
I'm sure you can adjust the number of spaces easily enough.

i use this
((read-only t)
("subject"
;; auto spams
(" [0-9][0-9][0-9]+$" -10 nil r)))
this does 3 or more digits. for me it seems to get rid of those
annoyance spammages.

Excellent, this is exactly what I'm looking for; I wasn't sure where I
could put regexps, whether they could coexist with my normal scoring.
Thanks!
