The way I read the syntax above is: For articles in any news group, add 200 to the score if: a. the References header ends with: @irc.sandman.net> -or- b. the References header ends with: So only direct responses to your own posts, where your message ID appears at the very end of the references header (@irc.sandman.net>), would get this score. I'm not sure I understand why the second rule exists. Your message IDs seem to be in the form: @irc.sandman.net. And I don't think I've seen any messages that would match mr([^ ]*)@([^ ]*)individual.net. I do have slrn applying scoring to messages replying to your @irc.sandman.net message ID though. So I know that rule does work. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR
