Adaptive scoring looks at the marks. When you read a message, the mark is r, whereas when you delete it, it's R (or vice versa?). So adaptive scoring arranges to increase the score for r articles but decrease for R articles (or vice versa). With auto-expire, both kinds of articles are marked E which makes the distinction difficult. Therefore, use total-expire if you want adaptive scoring. kai -- ~/.signature: No such file or directory
