Lower articles or reponses to articles

Lower articles or reponses to articles

[Bob Fry]

GNUS 1.90

I'd like to lower the count for articles or responses to articles from
certain authors.  I have some ability to modify elisp but writing this
function from scratch is beyond me, and I hope someone has done it
already and can share it.

In other words, in a given thread, if author fubar posts, I want to
lower their post; and if anybody responds to fubar's post, I want to
lower those responses too.  The latter would seem to require examining
the articles going up the thread to see if author fubar is the OP.  I
don't mind the delay in downloading and examining the extra articles.

You probably meant the XEmacs Gnus package with the package version
number 1.90 ...

`L f E RET' or similar when on fubar's posting should do the trick.
IIRC adaptive scoring needs to be enabled for this to work.

See the manual for details...

Bye, Reiner.

Right on both counts, thanks much.
