The keys for making score entries against the body are:

    I b z ...

    Increase, score on body, substring

    I b p ...

    Increase, score on body, regexp

This is inconsistent with the keys for other entry types:

    I a s ...

    Increase, score on author, substring

    I a r ...

    Increase, score on author, regexp

This is also inconsistent with the manual (Gnus)Summary Score Commands,
which documents s/r for substring/regexp and not z/p

A side effect of this is that the shortcuts raise an error for body type
entries:

    I B should be equivalent to I b s(z?) t

But it errors, likely because s is not defined for I b

Yeah, but the matches are different, so (as I seem to vaguely recall
from the 90s when this was written), different keys had to be used.

I've now documented that in the manual along with this:
