After much struggle understanding mutt's quoting rules I finally came up
with that kind of stuff, which works:
folder-hook =[a-z] score ~s'(\\\\[ot\\\\]\\|newbie\\|off-topic\\|your\\\
mail\\|(unidentified\\|no)\\\ suject)' -10
Notice:

- triple backslash to escape a space,
- double backslash for a an alternation pipe (non-escaped),
