I don't see why these wouldn't work, since they're the same format as my
brother ended up using (see below). Then, again, it's late for me...

I mentioned that, though not as a specific bug report. {} are special
characters for a regex, and so you can't match on them (*that* perhaps
due to a bug, since it should be escapable *somehow*). My brother found
this problem when trying out IMAP folders and folder-hooks, and he ended
up simply matching a sufficiently unique substring and going from there.
