skip ugly articles?

[Michael Schierl]

Hi,

In some groups I'd like to set up something similar to body scoring. I
know, body scoring is slow and requires to read all the bodies first
which will be bad[tm] when you are reading news online. So I'd like to
have something both similar and different. When I hit e.g. `n', Gnus
has to load the article anyway. So, how about checking it then and
automatically pressing `n' again for me when Gnus notices i will find
this article ugly? (e.g. triggered by some keywords in them or by some
headers)

Is there already a similar function for that in Gnus anywhere? Or
should i just advice `gnus-summary-next-unread-article'?

Hm...  skipping past articles that don't satisfy some predicate.  It
sounds kinda neat, but would it really be useful?

Hehe. Just *try* to follow the discussion in
news:alt.privacy.anon-server for a few weeks and you *will* need
it. Unless you have a better idea how to do that ;) (or the floods
just stop when you start trying...)

If you think that is unreadable: Hide all articles containing a line
like (you need to adjust that line every few weeks...)

I luv that "Boschlooney The Last" character  [0-9A-Z]+

and you will see that it is quite readable. But - unfortunately - not
with Gnus...

It didn't look like anything you can't handle with a normal score
file...
