Hi,

I was wondering, how do I automatically mark messages from myself as
read?
I'm not extremely familiar with killfiles or where slrn stores them.

I'd assume it would be possible on tin too?

I do not know how to set that.

Not just marking as read, but if you killfile (ctrl-K menu) yourself,
you won't see your own articles, which is probably what you want/mean.

By using 'l' (list) you can still see your articles if you want to
(see kill_level in your tinrc file).

And you will of course still see responses to your articles.

So how do you do it in slrn?

You'd make a scorefile (see more on this below), which is (if I recall
correctly) a UTF8 text file.

Put the following into that file:

[*]
% Score my own posts low (but not killed) to mark them as read
% but still visible.
Score: =-10
{ From: candycanearter07@candycanearter07\.nomail\.afraid
}

This score applies to all newsgroups ("[*]") and sets an absolute -10
score ("=" before the score amount) for any post containing a From:
header which contains your email address. Setting an absolute score
means that other scores listed below this score entry will not be
consulted. Setting a relative score (no equal sign in the score value)
means that other score entries listed afterwards can add/subtract
points to matching posts.

Change the score to =-9999 to use the default kill score which will
not only mark your posts as read but also not show those posts by
default.

> I'm not extremely familiar with killfiles or where slrn stores them.

slrn uses scorefiles. You can specify where you keep your scorefile
with the following command in your slrnrc:

set scorefile ".slrn-score"

This will set your scorefile to be in the .slrn-score file, for
example. You can change the default scoring arrangement in your slrnrc
as well.

For more details about slrn scoring please consult slrn documentation
such as the slrn manpage or an online mirror of that manpage (perhaps
https://github.com/jedsoft/slrn in the doc directory). Sadly,
https://www.slrn.org/ appears to be compromised now; as of the
time/date stamp on this post, that webpage returns something about
payday loans ("Payday loans online are an extremely expensive type of
borrowing...") in addition to a little bit of slrn information.

Isn't http://slrn.info/ the official page ? It works fine.

IDK, I found it auto installs the manual (/usr/share/docs/slrn/manual.txt)
when checking the package files

Thanks for this post. It appears that, if you do a search for "slrn score"
(as an example) slrn.org still has content. Apparently they only hijacked
the first page.
