Right, so Thunderbird is a crap application and Unison is pretty but rudimentary. So back to slrn and the good old days! So, for you out there that use this client, let me ask you some questions so I can get back on track. More questions will probably come.

I've started the score file, and I wanted to group scores, is this correct:

  [*]
  Score: 200
	{::
	 	References: @irc\.sandman\.net>$
		References: <mr([^ ]*)@([^ ]*)individual.net>$
	}

I.e. that's a scoring for people replying to my posts, and looking at the docs, the double colon means that only one of the items need to match. I was unable to make it work it seems, or maybe I'm doing something wrong there.

What (command line) editor do you use? Do you use one that is "post-aware". My editor of choice, pico, doesn't know what a usenet post is and can't colorize the text in any meaningful way. But others may.

How do you navigate the references of a post? Say I'm in a discussion and need to go back in time before the loaded article set, using references was a grrat way to do it in MT-NewsWatcher. Can it be done legantly in slrn?

That's it for now, I'll add more questions as they pop up :)
