Oops, one'll never know, what the implications of 'small' changes in
the command line options will be...
For the people who don't like reading documentation (which of course
they should) here is a small summary of the lines-syntax:
- Limitation of article length is now part of scoring which is
introduced in VSoup1.2.8 (as Jery is also pointing out)
- this means, one can set article length limits for newsgroups
individually:
- globally, one has to add the following lines to the %HOME%\score
file:
#
# kill articles longer than 800 lines
#
all {
-1 lines > 800
}
- locally, for a specific newsgroup, e.g.. alt.binaries... one'd
like to allow article lenghts up to 2000 lines, one has to add
the following to the scoring file:
alt.binaries.* {
1 lines > 800
-1 lines > 2000
}
(Not tested, but that should do the trick. It also shows an
advantage of scoring over killing: an article does not have only
one chance...)

PS to Jery: I hope that those missing -l/-L options in 1.2.8 made you
too much trouble! Thanks for your clarifications.
