For those that use emacs (and you should :), there's a version of GNUS (the newsreader) that has a neat scoring feature. Unlike a kill file which only gets rid of articles, scoring will automagically assign a negative (i.e. kill it) or positive (i.e. interesting) score to articles. You can manually rate articles or threads, or you can let Gnus use what the author of the package calls "artificial stupidity" to assign points based on whether or not you read a particular message. I've been using it on news for a couple of days now and it's starting to pickup some of my reading habits. It will also work on mail files (now if I can only get MH installed where my mail feed comes in I'll be set :). It also can access shared global score files using anon-ftp, so if someone want's to start a CP scoring service . . . .
