AFAIK, slrn's scoring supports any header, tho they recommend you use only
the ones in the overviews if possible, for efficiency reasons (if it's not
in the overview the message can't be scored until it is downloaded).  It
may even support message body scoring.

That's been on my wish list for a long time, every since I encountered a
nym-shifter that pan had and still has no way of filtering (it was before
scoring was added), even tho he did have at least one stable header I could
have filtered on, if pan would have simply allowed it.  The bug is still
open, I believe.
