(info "(gnus) Fancy Mail Splitting") says
"Normally, VALUE in these splits must match a complete _word_

VALUE's will be implicitly surrounded by `\<...\>' markers, which
are word delimiters. [...]
1. You can set the `nnmail-split-fancy-match-partial-words'
variable to non-`nil' in order to ignore word boundaries and
instead the match becomes more like a grep. This variable
controls whether partial words are matched during fancy
splitting. The default value is `nil'. [...]
2. VALUE beginning with `.*' ignores word boundaries in front of a
word. Similarly, if VALUE ends with `.*', word boundaries in the
rear of a word will be ignored. For example, the VALUE
`"@example\\.com"' does not match `foo@example.com' but
`".*@example\\.com"' does. [...]"

It matches the string ``[Using Moodle:]'' (including brackets) surrounded
by anything.
