funny score file names

funny score file names

[Arnd Kohrs]

Dear All,

I have come about a problem with score file name resolution:

I use the following statement (shortened) to assign groups to score files:

(setq gnus-home-score-file 
      '(
	("\\.gnus\\|\\.emacs\\|\\.bbdb\\|\\.ding\\|\\.auc-tex\\.nnimap" "emacs.SCORE")
	("^mail\\." "mail.SCORE")
	))

Now this results in the following score file assignment:

nnml:list.ding --> /homes/kohrs/News/nnml:listemacs.SCORE
                                     ^^^^^^^^^
gnu.emacs.help --> /homes/kohrs/News/gnuemacs.SCORE.help
                                     ^^^            ^^^^

What's going on?  Why is there a funny prefix etc?

Have a good WE,
Arnd.

>From `gnus-home-score-file':

	     ;; Regexp-file cons.
	     ((consp elem)
	      (when (string-match (gnus-globalify-regexp (car elem)) group)
		(replace-match (cadr elem) t nil group))))))

Er -- is this right?  It leads to the behavior seen above, which is
more than a bit counter-intuitive, I would have thought.  I can
understand the rationale, but shurely there must be a better way to do 
this...
