That would be useful.. as would the ability to score/filter on
non-overview headers, and overall content (body).  I too use gmane, and
it'd be nice to be able to filter on the x-unspam header, therefore
filtering out everything marked as spam.  (Those posts are also x-posted
to the gmane.spam.reported group, and that's in the overviews I think, but
I've not been able to figure out how to filter on x-posts, either. 
Filtering on "group" "contains", doesn't seem to work, since it seems
to only work on the group one is actually in at the time, not other groups
the post may have been x-posted to, unfortunately.)  Have you figured out
how to get PAN to filter those out?  Filtering on headers such as posting
host would also be incredibly useful at times.  Unfortunately, while
Charles agrees that this sort of filtering/scoring should eventually be
doable, it hasn't been a front-burner issue for him, and I'm not up to
coding a patch myself, so..

The real way to keep track of these, other than just getting the reaction
of the list, is to put it in bugzilla, under feature request/wishlist.  If
you've done that, go ahead and post the link with the bugzilla number in
it here, and I'll go say I want it too.
