Back to my bad habit of resurrecting old threads :)

Do you really score "bad" messages with _negative_ scores?  The manual
says (section 3.24):

 A message's final score is the sum total of all matching score
 entries. However, you may optionally prefix value with an equal sign
 (“=”) to cause evaluation to stop at a particular entry if there is a
 match. Negative final scores are rounded up to 0.

... so, no matter how "bad" a message is (let's say, a top post, a
thread hijack, an ALL CAPS subject, and unlimited line length LOL), the
worst it can score is 0.  Am I right?  I haven't used mutt scoring yet,
so I am trying to learn how to best put it to my purposes.  It seems
to me that for flagging "badness" positive scores would be much more
convenient.  Am I missing something as usual?

Thanks for the tip, it almost works :P On which system is there a md5
program? Here:

 [9+0]~$ folder=Mail/inbox
 [10+0]~$ printf '%s' `readlink -f $folder` | md5sum
6937aaf0469360e061c78ffae25359d2  -
 [11+0]~$ printf '%s' `readlink -f $folder` | md5sum | awk '{print $1;}'

Maybe set a default fcc-hook like this (untested)?

  fcc-hook . ^

Force a write on the folder, then delete the folder, then sort
the cache files according to mtime, delete the newest one.

Ciao, Gregor

printf '%s' "/full/path/to/directory" | md5 | xargs rm -r
