Ok, reverting back to the original...

Two steps required, if you only want to download specific articles of
a group:

(1) all articles will get a negative score first,
(2) after that, the articles you'd like to receive, will get a
positive score.

As an example, you are interested only in articles from the
'comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip' which contains 'smtp', 'nntp' or
'sendmail' in the subject line. The scoring file will contain perhaps
the following lines:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# killthreshold actually not required, because zero is the default value
#
killthreshold 0

comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip {
-1 subject
1 subject smtp|nntp|sendmail
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very simple, isn't it?

If you are interested in the above topics in all networking groups you
are subscribed to, simply change 'comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip' to
'.*networking.*'.
