## 3.23. Message Scoring

Usage: `score` pattern value
Usage: `unscore` pattern [ pattern ... ]

The `score` commands adds value to a message's score if pattern matches it. pattern is a string in the format described in the patterns section (note: For efficiency reasons, patterns which scan information not available in the index, such as `~b`, `~B` or `~h`, may not be used). value is a positive or negative integer. A message's final score is the sum total of all matching `score` entries. However, you may optionally prefix value with an equal sign (=) to cause evaluation to stop at a particular entry if there is a match. Negative final scores are rounded up to 0.

The `unscore` command removes score entries from the list. You must specify the same pattern specified in the `score` command for it to be removed. The pattern ``*'' is a special token which means to clear the list of all score entries.
