I guess you'll have to mask the spaces, like "\ \ \ " (untested;
consider mutt often needs more than one "\" in such cases).

See the "score_*" variables in the manual. I use:
set score_threshold_delete=0
set score_threshold_flag=30 # autoflag at 30
set score_threshold_read=15
unscore *
score '~A' 20 # initial score value
score '~P|~p|~Q' 20 # flag msg directly concerning myself
score '!(~p|~P|~Q|~F)~d>7d' -9999 # delete older than one week and
#neither concerning myself nor flagged
and so on.
I hope this helps.
