Score File Editing ​

You normally enter all scoring commands from the summary buffer, but you might feel the urge to edit them by hand as well, so we’ve supplied you with a mode for that.

It’s simply a slightly customized emacs-lisp mode, with these additional commands:

C-c C-c ​

Save the changes you have made and return to the summary buffer (gnus-score-edit-exit).

C-c C-d ​

Insert the current date in numerical format (gnus-score-edit-insert-date). This is really the day number, if you were wondering.

C-c C-p ​

The adaptive score files are saved in an unformatted fashion. If you intend to read one of these files, you want to pretty print it first. This command (gnus-score-pretty-print) does that for you.

Type M-x gnus-score-mode to use this mode.

gnus-score-menu-hook is run in score mode buffers.

In the summary buffer you can use commands like V f, V e and V t to begin editing score files.
