Is there any way > to use scoring to make that happen? `L a' permanently lowers the score on the contents of the "from" field. You can then interactively decide whether to use a regexp or just a substring match. The default is the from field of the article you do the command on, but the string is editable. Whether this ends up in the group score file, or in the global score file for that server, or the global overall score file, depends on which score file you visited last (ie. default is the group score file, but if you wish to do a global down-score, just visit the global score file first).
