Marking read automatically by scoring - only works the first time

Marking read automatically by scoring - only works the first time

[Adam Sjøgren]

  Hi.


I recently updated from cvs for the first time in roughly half a year.
Now I'm experiencing an odd problem:

I use scoring to make boring articles be marked read automatically (I
give them -5000 in my all.SCORE) - they appear in italics in the
summary and get the 'Y'-"mark".

After the update, this only works the first time I enter any group.
Any group I enter subsequently only has the boring articles in
italics, but they do not get read automatically; no 'Y'-"mark".

I havent got a ((mark -100)) in my all.SCORE as the node "7.10 Scoring
Tips" in the manual suggests, but if that was mandatory, I would
expect that the marking-as-read didn't do anything at all, even the
first time a any group is entered?!

Any ideas on whether this is something I need to adjust in my
configuration or how to track down the problem, if it is a bug?


  Best regards,

     Adam

It's a bug, I sent a patch in <87is85tzyg.fsf@orebokech.com> but nobody
bothered to apply it and I don't have commit access so the bug is still
not fixed.  *shrug*

Your patch fixes the problem for me - thanks!

(Now on to nagging someone into committing it to cvs... :-))


  Best wishes,

My hard disk died, and I can't do cvs from work.  So, someone else needs to look
at it.
