I really think that this thread belongs in news.software.readers and 
not in here. In news.software.readers you'll find the (very helpfull) 
slrn mafia hanging out...

slrn nested scoring syntax is a doddle for them. ;-)

But before you tweak your scoring you should find out how to set 
wordwrap to a set 72 - 76 or so characters :-P
