The problem is working out a meaning for scoring parts of a message, and
making them visible to the user. I'd be inclined towards simply marking
the message as a whole (with multiple to: tokens, &c). If the user's got
a sufficiently clueful mailer (like MH :) they can burst the digests 
before the scoring happens, in the event that they want the individual 
messages scored...
