Random regex/fancy-split question

Hello world,

Every now and then I stumble over a new google group for which this
fancy split line doesn't work:

   (to "\\(.+\\)@googlegroups\\.com" "googlegroups.\\1")

Or maybe it doesn't work for any of them, I'm not sure now.

Most recently, it was mail to this address:

   To: "epub-working-group@googlegroups.com" <epub-working-group@googlegroups.com>

All those messages wound up in a group called "googlegroups.".

I poked it with a stick a bit and got various permutations, such as
"googlegroups.p" and "googlegroups.group" but eventually I gave up and
created another split line:

   (to "epub-working-group@googlegroups\\.com" "googlegroups.epub-working-group")

to fix the problem.

But it bugs me that the regexp doesn't work because I think it should.

Clue by four, anyone?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
