Very nice, but I only see three messages.  And what's the third pane on
the right top for?  It only has my name in it and can't quite figure out
what it's supposed to be doing.

Straightforward.  I do scoring myself, but I don't take any action based
on that score yet.  If I were to do auto-expunging, I would probably do
it after 30 or 45 days.  I like to keep a rather large backlog of
Cooker.  It's much faster to look through that than to look through the
online archives.

Ok, that makes a little bit of sense.  To see what mine looks like, take
a look at http://www.cerritoslug.org/tutorials/mutt.html and click on
the three links for the Sample Screen Shots.  You'll also note that you
and Ben were not scored at the time that I made those screenshots.  Both
of you are now :)  Plus I also score in single digits.  I think I WILL
adjust the highlighting based on score though.  That certainly helps to
identify interesting posts (ie Linus, AC, Ingo, etc)

I think I get it.  It's only showing threads, not individual messages.
I would be tempted to call that a "folded" view.  Mutt has the ability
to expand/collapse threads, however, the score it shows is only of the
original message of the thread.  It doesn't seem to let the top score
through as the predominant score of the thread (ie, yours seems to be
scoring threads, whereas mutt only seems to score individual
messages...I'll have to look more into that...maybe those developers
aren't so crazy after all for using gnus :)

Which I don't see any of those.

If I wasn't such a happy vi user, I'd try it out.  But I have such a
hard time navigating in emacs because I'm so comfortable with vi.
