Is anyone an expert on Microplanet Gravity? I'm trying to
get the scorefile working. It works occasionally, but only
once in a blue moon, and I can't figure out a pattern.
Usually, I still see all the stuff I'm trying to score down.
This makes one particular group very hard to read.
Most of the things I want to score away are in the body, which
does require retrieving the messages, but some are in the
subject line and still don't work.
I guess I can always change newsreaders, but this seems like
basic functionality. Is this solvable?

To be honest, I don't think it matters much what newsreader you
use for that group... you either see a lot of noise or you have
nothing to read at all. It's hard to get a happy medium there.

I do not use Microplanet Gravity, so all of the following
ideas were not tested by me!
To improve body scoring, what you could try is to
- right-click the problematic newsgroup and select
Properties;
- look for the retrieval settings (often under Storage or
Retrieval Options), and
- change the setting from "Headers Only" to "Headers and
Bodies" (or create an automatic download rule for that group).
Regarding filtering in general, you could
- open your global rules or scorefile manager (Tools >
Rules or Filters) and ensure your rule type is set to
Regular Expression and use the canonical format:
.*SpamString.* (The .* means "any characters before or
after"), and
- ensure Case Insensitivity is checked if you want to catch
variations like spamword or SPAMWORD.
Gravity processes scoring rules from the top down. If you
have an earlier rule that automatically marks articles as
"Read," "Important," or "Keep," and that rule has a "Stop
Processing Rules" action attached to it, Gravity will stop
evaluating the file entirely. Your downward scoring rules
lower in the list will never be reached.
So, you can move your downward/kill scoring rules to the very
top of the list so they execute before any global visibility
or keeping rules take effect.
There might be problems with modifying a filter file in C:\Program
Files\ on Windows. These could be alleviated moving the program to
a folder like C:\Gravity\, but this is considered to be less secure.

If I could downscore everything containing "aedo," "inky,"
"sswipe," and "nightcafe.studio," I'd be a happier Usenetter.

You might also only have three posts to read every morning when
you get up! ;-)
