How to score a thread?

How to score a thread?

[Peter Wu]

In slrn, I can easily type K and enter a score to a thread. If I enter
a score great enough, the scored thread will always show at the top
automatically. 

I'd like to know how I can do this in Gnus. I tried to read the Gnus
manual, http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_223.html#SEC223, but I still seem to
be at a loss. :(

Can anyone shed some light on how to make it work? Thanks.

I don't use Microsoft products, so I can't give you the 'real' answer, but
when I come across pages that have been marked up so that they won't print
correctly, I save them as source files (.html), then go in and fix the
markup so that it's right. In your case, it seems that deleting the
reference to the stylesheet in the header might do the trick for you. If
the page has tables, either removing the table markup or limiting the width
might make the marked up page printable.
