I think the way to implement this would be to add a `f' "match" type
to the body score thing.  Then the "match" could be a user-defined (or 
pre-defined) function that would return the score of the article.
Then we could have a function that returned a score based on the
ratio between quoted text and new text.

Anybody want to implement this?
