The score approaches sounds find, except I was just wondering: Is the score somehow portable across multiple computers? I use multiple backends, including nnimap, nnatom, nnrss, and nntp. However, focusing on the IMAP messages, it seems that if I mark a message as read (which I think is basically the same thing as "killing" it) then the message is still marked as read when I login via Gnus on a different computer. Would hiding still work if I was just marking messages with a low score?

I only use nnatom, nnrss, and nntp on one computer, but the nnimap, including the mailing list groups, are used from both computers.
