Hi,

I'm having trouble matching the character '[' in nnmail-split-fancy. I
have the following split rule:

	("subject" "\\[.+\\] *$" "junk")

This does not match the following line in the *Summary* buffer:

R       01-Apr  [h1pzm@msn.com       ] Something EVERY business needs! [s83jy]

However in the *scratch* buffer:

(string-match "\\[.+\\] *$" "Something EVERY business needs! [s83jy]")
32

does what I want. What am I missing?
