Adaptive scoring in MT-NewsWatcher: doing it in AppleScript?
I am giving MT-NewsWatcher a try as Gnus has been getting slower for me for some reason on my PowerBook. Also, it’s nice to have a real GUI rather than being inside Emacs.
There are a couple of things missing though: offline reading and adaptive scoring.
MT-NW supports AppleScripting and the dictionary shows plenty of things in the filter category, so it should be feasible to code adaptive scoring fairly quickly. However, I couldn’t find a lot of hacking around MT-NW on the Web.
So I am back to square one: having to learn a new language to do stuff on the Mac. I am afraid I am going to need to just get it over with, otherwise I’ll be bumping in this same AppleScript wall every couple of weeks. Sigh.
