2.1.2 Manual Scoring

Scores may also be set on entries manually:

Command: elfeed-score-set-score score ignore-region

Set the score of one or more Elfeed entries to score (given as a prefix argument).

Since these scores are presumably significant to the user who took the trouble to set them, such scores will not be overwritten by other scoring operations (such the new entry hook which elfeed-score installs). Since this behavior was implemented only recently, it is controlled by a configuration variable:

User Option: elfeed-score-scoring-manual-is-sticky

This customization variable, if true, will make manual scores “sticky” in that they will not be overwritten by other scoring operations (they can, however, be overwritten by a subsequent manual scoring operation). If nil, manual scoring is treated no differently than any other scoring operation.
