While there's no ui, the ability to score on any header has been in for
some time now.  As for scoring on the body....

What could be happening is that marking a cross-posted article as read
updates the read articles in all relevant groups.  This could make pan
think it has already retrieved all headers up to that article.  If so
then a work around would be to request the last x or x days headers
instead of new.
