I'm interested in having Gnus automatically tick and cache articles that
reach a certain score.  Is this possible?

With the cache, no.  On the other hand, the agent will do this.

The absolute simpliest is to read about agent predicates under the
Agent Category.

What you want is to use the predicate 'high'.  This will instruct the
agent to fetch all headers and those articles whose score is greater
than gnus-agent-high-score.

If you don't want to setup a category that spans all of your groups,
you can set the same predicate as a topic, or group, parameter.

Hmm...  I might be able to "get by" with just ticking articles that
reach a certain score.

What I'm really interested in is ticking frequent postings to
newsgroups, such as FAQs, tips and such (and unticking old versions when
the new ones get posted).  Caching would be nice, but is certainly
optional.

So, if there's nothing built into Gnus to enable me to do this
out-of-the-box, are there any hooks that I might find suitable?

Thanks for the help.
