What if you are member in some mailing lists with high volume traffic? Mail
is sorted to the specified folder by the filter, but I'm not interested in
all messages. Scoring could help these situations

I know. This was merely an example.

Scoring makes sense in the usenet, because there are thousands of

Well, there are mailing lists that contains huge volumes of messages but not
one of these is spam. There the scoring system could save the day.

I receive 1500-2000 mails daily and neither one of these mails are spam. To
manage this volumes mail filters are not enough. I read about "colour
groups", "folders" etc, I used them aleready but no one can match the
powerness of scoring.
