 I think I was going to copy slrn scoring - I always found it very

 I think we're speaking about different things here. You probably speak
about the format for storing the score rules themselves (which is not a
problem, whatever the format is it won't be difficult to implement it). I'm
talking about saving the message scores themselves (i.e. the numeric
values) which we should be doing to avoid having to apply the scores to the
already scored messages each time a folder is reopened.

 At least, I think we'd need this as, unlike i a newsreader, you're
probably not deleting all the messages as soon as you get them in a mail
client.

 If you ask them they'd surely tell you that this is a past stage.

 But thanks for the encouragements :-)
