Unfortunately, I don't believe that's a scorable header, currently.
Scores (and filters) are pretty limited, right now, to essentially the
headers available in an overview
(subject/author/date/lines/references/msg-id).
A wider choice in scoring, including the <all headers>, <body>, and
<message> choices, plus specific headers, has been a feature request for
some time. I'm interested in that sort of thing as well. Unfortunately,
I'm not a coder, and Charles' reply was that while he agrees that'd be
useful functionality, it's not going to be "front burner" for quite some
time. Actually, I asked for it b4 scoring was ever introduced, when all
one had was filters/watch/ignore.
What I read between the lines of what he said was that he thought it
should be done by 1.0, but there were quite a number of things on that "by
1.0" list, actually, and 1.0 might be years away, still. So, yes, it's
something I'd like too, but as I'm not a coder, and I know the realistic
scheduling it has, I'm not holding my breath.
As Charles frequently says, tho, patches are welcome. If you ARE a coder
and can come up with something that fits in with PAN's current UI, I'm
sure he'd be quite interested, particularly since he hasn't had a lot of
time for coding on his own lately, so being the project doesn't have a
strong list of submitters constantly patching, it's mostly him and Chris,
development has been far slower the last 8 months or so.
