Adaptive scoring - PGnus doesn't understand me...

Adaptive scoring - PGnus doesn't understand me...

[Raymond Scholz]

Hi!

I'm using Leafnode 1.9.2 and PGnus 0.97 with Emacs 20.3.1 for reading
news at home. The Gnus setup (.gnus, all.SCORE) is exactely the same
as for my university account, where _none_ of the following problems
occur.

I've turned on adaptive scoring. When reading new articles in a
newsgroup, they are marked read (r) and I assume Gnus raises their
score according to gnus-default-adaptive-score-alist, which is set to
(default):

((gnus-kill-file-mark)
 (gnus-unread-mark)
 (gnus-read-mark
  (from 3)
  (subject 30))
 (gnus-catchup-mark
  (subject -10))
 (gnus-killed-mark
  (from -1)
  (subject -20))
 (gnus-del-mark
  (from -2)
  (subject -15)))

My ~/News/all.SCORE is:

(("from"
  ("rscholz" +1000)
  ("bremen.de" +100 nil s)
  ("tzi.de" +100 nil s)
  ("^[0-9][0-9]*@" -100 nil r))

 ("subject"
  ("^\\(Re: \\)?[^a-z]*$" -100 nil R)
  ("\\<\\(make\\|fast\\|big\\)\\s-*\\(money\\|cash\\|bucks?\\)\\>" -100 nil r)
  ("$$" -100 nil s)
  ("please ignore" -100 nil s)
  ("test" -100 nil e)
  ("\\(un\\)?sub?scribe" -100 nil r)
  ("^ *\\([(<]none[>)]\\|(no subject\\( given\\)?)\\)? *$" -100 nil r))
 
 ("xref"
  ("[^:\n]+:[0-9]+ +[^:\n]+:[0-9]+ +[^:\n]+:[0-9]+" -100 nil r))

 ("followup"
  ("rscholz" +1000 nil s))

 (mark 0)
 (expunge -1000)
 (mark-and-expunge -100)
 (thread-mark-and-expunge -100)
 (orphan -10)

 (adapt t)	
 
 (read-only t))

But reading articles is _lowering_ the score. Taking a look at
~/News/*.ADAPT tells me _reading_ articles is misunderstood as
_deleting_ articles. E.g. the score based on the subject is lowered in
15 point steps. The effect of this behaviour is that I can't read
interesting threads anymore because their score is too low. Weird this
is... I have no other score files except from all.SCORE and the
*.ADAPT files.

Can anyone find out what's causing that behaviour. Leafnode perhaps?

Cheers,
  Ray

Hi again!

So this is really weird... You may have read my other posting to this
list (<m3zowujmkt.fsf@rays.seite.ms>) and Kai's reply. I switched off
hilit and it seems that the adaptive scoring problem was caused by
hilit too. 

The documentation says (Appendices::History::Compatibility):

//////

   Old hilit19 code does not work at all.  In fact, you should probably
remove all hilit code from all Gnus hooks (`gnus-group-prepare-hook'
and `gnus-summary-prepare-hook').  Gnus provides various integrated
functions for highlighting.  These are faster and more accurate.  To
make life easier for everybody, Gnus will by default remove all hilit
calls from all hilit hooks.  Uncleanliness!  Away!

\\\\\\

So, obviously the automatic removal of all hilit calls doesn't work
for my configuration.

Cheers,
  Ray - feeling much better now...
