(I originally asked this at unix.stackexchange.com but someone suggested
to me that it would be more sensible to ask in this group.)
I use Gnus v5.13 in GNU Emacs 24.1.1 to read my email, and I'm having
trouble getting a simple score file to work. Essentially, I want any
mail that's sent to (or copies) a particular email address to be given
a higher score. My example score file, in ~/Mail/all.SCORE is:
(("from"
("Mark Longair" 1000))
("To"
("mark-scoretesting@example.org" 1000)))
I'm making sure that that score file is being used by having added the following to my ~/.gnus file:
(setq gnus-global-score-files
'("~/Mail/all.SCORE"))
This does seem to work properly for the rule that matches the From
line - matching messages are highlighted, and when I type V S in the
summary buffer, it shows a score of 1000 for those messages. However,
the "To" rule doesn't match. I've seen in the documentation here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Score-File-Format.html
... that "Scoring can only be performed on these eight headers: From,
Subject, References, Message-ID, Xref, Lines, Chars and Date", but
here:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Scoring-On-Other-Headers.html
... says that one can get around this limitation by adding the following
to .gnus:
(setq gnus-extra-headers '(To Cc Newsgroups Keywords)
nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)
... and then restarting Gnus and running M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases.
I've tried that (with just To and Cc), but the rule for the "To" line
still isn't working, even if I type V R to rescore the articles in my
summary buffer.
Could any possibly suggest how to get this to work?
Many thanks,
Mark

But you still have to score on "extra" headers. Try doing the command
at the end of that section of the manual and see what scoring rule it
generates.
