Do this by adding something like the following to your ~/News/all.SCORE file: (("references" ("<\\(x7\\|sd\\)[a-z0-9_]+\\.fsf\\(_-_\\)?@\\(my\\.host\\.domainname\\.com\\)>" 20000 nil r))) which scores up posts responding to me (from the machine my.host.domainname.com) by 20000. Within the group buffer, however, I don't do sorting. I use topics to put stuff into groups and I have a pretty good feel about which I need to keep on top of... -- "In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find." -- Terry Pratchett
