Score file format misaligned with score commands?

Score file format misaligned with score commands?

[Kai Großjohann]

In the node "Score File Format", the docs say that you can include
magic in score files which cause Gnus to fetch the header or the
whole article and do the matching there.

But in the node "Scoring On Other Headers", the docs say that you
have to put the headers in gnus-extra-headers and stuff like that.

I think the docs should say the following:

* If it is possible to have gnus-extra-headers work with NNTP
  servers, tell us, how.  (I vaguely recall some entry
  "overview:full" or somesuch in the INN configuration?)  The current
  node gives the impression that extra headers only work with nnml.
  Presumably, these days, nnfolder also works (because of NOV
  support).  And what about nnimap?

* There should be commands to insert rules in the score file that
  correspond to the "Header" and "Body" magic described in "Score
  File Format".

* The documentation under "Score On Other Headers" should mention
  these commands.

Thoughts?

I don't quite remember either...

`I b ...' scores on body, etc...

Well, it does mention `head' scoring...

I'm not sure if this answers the question, but you can add lines of the
form:

    Header:full

to the overview.fmt configuration file of INN for any additional headers
that you want to show up in overview.  Note that those headers will only
be stored in overview for articles that arrive after you make that change
and restart innd.

Whether or not Gnus can then take advantage of them, I don't recall, but I
think it can based on past discussion of Keywords.

Ah; right.  There's already an example like that in the manual, I see
now.
