I don't know if you rememeber or not, but I have been having this
exact same problem for a long time now.  I turned on adaptive scoring
way back in .20 or so of sgnus and starting using nnml later on.  I
wrote to you and told you about this problem, and you said something
to the effect of 'I can't repeat it using your settings', so I figured
I must be doing something wierd.

I had hoped that when I moved to CH and started anew (though I did
transfer some files, like my .gnus file and possibly the scoring files
as well, I don't remember.  I did zap my .eld file though) that this
problem would disappear.  Since no one else has ever complained about
it, I just figured it was me.  I'm incredibly relieved to see someone
else having the same problem (no offence Hans!).

Anyway, as an example I just checked the variable
gnus-use-adaptive-scoring in the 'ding' nnml group (which it doesn't
work on) and it is set to 't' as it should be.  All of my summary
lines, however, display the score as '0' (I actually display the
value).  Odd...

Note:
(setq gnus-kill-files-directory "~/News/scoring/")
"ls nnml*.ADAPT" shows nothing.
