How's thread scoring supposed to work. When I do a `I T' to increase
the score of a (sub-)thread, it appears to increase the score of
articles whose reference header contains the message-id of the
originally scored on article, *but*, only when there is more than
one message id in the references header of an article. That is, an
immediate followup to the head of a (sub-)thread (only one
message-id in its references)does not have its score increased.
Can someone show me where my understanding is awry here?

Well, that does sound like a bug. Does it happen all the time, or
just sometimes?

Looking over the code, I find that this isn't how thread scoring
works. Thread scoring increases the score of articles that are
children of articles that reference the Message-ID you specify.
I think perhaps you want scoring by followup instead.

Well, every time I've attempted to use it, so far. I'll try and debug
it when I have some time, now that I know it's not a comprehension
problem on my part :-).

Why would one want the behavior that you described? The manual
suggests that scoring on thread is supposed to be a more robust
version of scoring on references (more robust in that it can handle
threads in which some references headers have been truncated). But if
it misses the direct followups, what good is it?

Well, it is more robust than scoring on References, but you probably
want both scoring on Followup as well as Thread to get the result you
want.
Or something.
