I thought an absolute score, with =, that it stopped there, was a given, 
but you're right, that's what it does, so using relative scores if you 
want to continue should (and you say does indeed) work.  That was going 
to be my next suggestion, however.

Glad you got it working, in any case, but I'm still curious why colon is 
working and not comma.  Logically, it should be the other way around, at 
least for the newsgroups line.

BTW, I'd leave it alone in your case since it's working, but for anyone 
else following along, there's the Newsgroups: header match, and a special 
Newsgroup: (no "s") match, which by the doc is a "special" match, 
matching the newsgroup one is in, not any particular header.  If you are 
using that, it /might/ explain the colon working.  Like I said tho, if 
whatever you have is working, no need to touch it. =8^)
