score files and group parameters

score files and group parameters

[robert]

Please forgive my earlier confusion... I think you've resorted to
.SCORE files to make use of the all.SCORE file. ie. to specify
rules for a heirarchy which isn't possible in group parameters so I
can live with that.

It's just that the .SCORE files weren't been re-read when I touched
them.

You need to flush the score cache `W f' to make Gnus re-read score
files.  A fix for this is on the Red Gnus todo list.

score files and group parameters..

[robert]

Well, if I'm going to be forced to specify things like (adapt ignore)
etc in .SCORE files I'd like to see the .SCORE file re-read when it's
been touched. I'm in 5.2.37 and I'm noticing that if I invalidate a .SCORE
file by adding an extra "(" it's not picked up until I quit gnus and
restart.

I want the score file re-read when it's recognised that it's newer
than the one loaded before.

Is there a bug I'm unaware of?

I would have thought that I could control whether a group used adaptive
scoring via it's group parameters list but all efforts have failed. In
fact it seems that group parameters are no longer a prefered method of
define a groups characteristics and that we have to use .SCORE files?

Could somebody please clear this up?
