A very old US idiom (That I just now made up.. he he): `Using and 8 lb sledge hammer for a fly swatter.' Yeah, it would be handier to be able to M-x watch-thread with an article under the cursor. But maybe M-x watch-thread could setup the nnkiboze group for you with two or three prompts?... That would be about what you want and very cool to boot. It would work nicely for the sparrow scale and for the `Pteridactil' (couldn't resist) scale. If one limited the regex to one group it would be a thread watcher for that one. But one could specify many which means it could be much broader. All yuu would need to do then is watch for new messgaes in nnkiboze:my_threads > Hm. IIRC, you specified some kind of regexp like "References: foo". > This won't work, I think, as nnkiboze groups require a normal score > file, it appears. Not sure what you mean here by `normal'... Wouldn't a rule like this work: (wrapped for mail) (("thread" ("" nil nil r))) The manual section seems to indicate that anything found under the cross reference "scoring" is usable. o In addition to this regexp detailing component groups, an `nnkiboze' o group must have a score file to say what articles are to be included in o the group (*note Scoring::).
