That's not quite the proper format.  Try regular expressions, if you want
to match on more than one word, and choose the appropriate drop-down
qualifier.  In fact, if you check the scorefile itself, you will see that
PAN records all the choices in the file as regexps, but just makes it a
bit easier in the GUI for those who don't know what a regexp is to use
scoring as well by doing the translation for the others behind the scenes.
Since you appear to be running sylpheed claws on GNU-Linux, I'm assuming
I don't have to explain what regexps are.  =:^)
