Make Category Score match on Re:

[Harry Putnam <reader@newsguy.com>]

Trying to get more use out of the 'Agent' side of Gnus.  I am
experimenting on more complete or detailed categories and scores to
control downloading.  Following Kais pointer on using 'false' for
default I now have a set up like this:

default category =false
High category    =high
Re: Category     =high
Certain groups are assigned to each category.  Only one nntp server is
involved and is assinged to agent bu default.

The score for the 'High' category is a lenghty list of posters in "From"
format. 
The score for the 'Re:' category looks like this:
(("subject"
  ("Re: " nil nil r))) 
An attemp to catch only the reply postings in certain groups.

IT seems this category score is ignored when agent looks at the
headers.  So none of the articles with Re: in the subject are being
marked for download.  Four groups are assigned to this category. None
of the reply posting are being found.

Thinking gnus  might be set internally to ignore the Re: part of
subject header,  I tried it manually on a regular score file and it
does score all reply articlces nicely.

The info manual says the score for categories are in the same syntax
as regular score files.  But is the machinery that looks at category
scores  set up the same as regular scoring?

Does the scoring mechanism for category scoring ignore the "Re:" in
subject lines?
