Oh, right. That's not very clear. If a score entry "match" -- for some value of "match" -- then the thing that's described above happens. You can score on many different things, but if a score rule is triggered, we call that a "match". So the text above talks about what happens (or not) to score rule entries depending on whether they were triggered or not. So `gnus-update-score-entry-dates' really determines how temporary score rule entries are aged. If nil, all temporary score rule entries are aged. If non-nil, only the non-triggered score rule entries are aged. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
