If scoring typically applies on "subject" and "from" headers as you write then why can't the score be already calculated when the message is received? And as filtering is normally done when a message is received it seems to be natural to perform the calculation of the message score directly before/during/directly after filtering. Why has the score to be recalculated everytime you select the folder? The "subject" and "from" headers won't change. The only thing that actually changes is the age of the messages. > Suppose you're subscribed to several kde mailing-lists, with a folder > for each, and you want to score up messages from foo@kde.org in all > of these folders, but nowhere else.

If a message comes from a kde mailing-list (i.e. "X-Mailing-List" contains "@master.kde.org"), calculate the score by looking if the message was sent by foo@kde.org.
