'hot' is a nick for a score of +100
'kill' is a nick for a score of -100

articles start with a score of 0, each filterrule can add postive or
negative points to articles, articles which have a final score of -50 or
lower will be marked as read/killed, article with a finla score of 50 or higher
will be marked as hot (and GroupMarkUnselArtRead ('X') can be used to weed
out all other articles or the group can be sorted based on the score of
articles/thread etc.pp.).

if add_posted_to_filter set set all own posted articles will get a score of
+100 and thus a 'simple' kill will not mark them as read (+100 -100 = 0, but
-50 or lower is required to mark articles as read). you either want to turn
off add_posted_to_filter or use a higher kill-score.
