>Scoring Overview
>Tools - Scoring
>Gravity's scoring prioritize (and optionally colors) threads based the score
>of the highest scored article within the containing thread. The values are
>based on the articles visible in the thread list, according to the display
>filter. As articles status changes, the view and thread sort may change as
>articles drop out of the filter.
>You may see negative scored articles in high scored threads. Scoring by
>itself does not perform actions on articles. However, you can use a score as
>a condition in rules to mark articles as read and more. In Rule examples, we
>show how to do that. You can also use score values in filters. As an example,
>you could modify the default "Unread Articles" filter to include articles
>with a positive score and not show low-scored articles.  
>There are two ways to add score entries; the "Add Score Entry" (Quick Score)
>and the Main Scoring Dialog.
>* Add words using the "Add Score Entry", or "Quick Score" (keyboard shortcut:
>  "S"), which adds a score entry that applies to the current newsgroup.
>* The Main Scoring Dialog is like a control panel for all score phrases. Use
>  this to create score "groups" with wild cards, so that certain score
>  entries apply to more than one, or all newsgroups.
>* Score phrases can be wildcard, regular expression, or plain text. Whole
>  words can be specified for any input.
>* Scores are added to individual articles, but score sorting is based on
>  thread value, which is based on the highest scored articles within a thread.
>* To update scores after you have added score phrases, use the "Re-score
>  current group" command (or do it automatically using the option in the
>  "Add Score Entry" dialog).
>What You Can Do With Scoring
>Rules - You can use score values in rules to trigger certain rule actions,
>such as mark articles read. You can also create rule actions to add score
>values (positive or negative). See How-to use scores in rules for details.
>Sort Threads - You can  configure Gravity to sort threads in the thread pane
>by the maximum article score within each thread. Threads with high scored
>articles are moved to the top of the thread list. 
>Color Threads - You can color code score ranges.
>Filters - You can use scores in advanced display filters. For example, you
>can create a filter that only shows articles scored greater than zero.
>Create another filter that displays articles scored above 500, etc. You can
>quickly reduce clutter and scan a group for the most important articles
>this way.
