Re: [Pan-users] scorefile in 0.14.2.91

[Ed Goforth]

And a follow-up question on the "Articles -> Create Score" interface.
It always shows the option for "contains" grayed out for the Author
field.  If I write a rule by hand like

%BOS
[*]
Score: =-9999
  From: aol.com
%EOS

will Pan's scorefile parser barf?  Is this a legal rule?

Well, if I had spent more than 1 minute, I guess I would have seen the
obvious "Articles -> View Article's Scores" entry right there on the
menu.  Sorry for the bother.

But I still think this could be useful to see the actions in bulk.
