Yes, though currently it's only scoring on References:, rather than
Message-ID, so you'd be limited to scoring (from the GUI, anyway)
replies, rather than on a regular expression in the Message-ID header.
Perhaps that should go in right under References in the "add score" dialog?

Yup. :)

I will eventually get to scoring/filtering on arbitrary headers,
it's not a high priority. This is a lot more expensive in newsreaders
than in mailers, because instead of having the entire message like
mailers do, Pan only has what XOVER gives us -- number, message-id,
references, author, subject, lines, byte count, and usually xrefs.
Anything else is going to cost you a round trip to the server, or
a painfully slow search through cached articles.
That's not to say that it can't be done, or that it wouldn't be
useful. But, just so that you know, there *is* a rationale for
only having limited criteria for now.
cheers,
Charles
