(Here's the explaination of this topic from the mutt manual, near the
bottom of the "Pattern Modifier" section:
Special attention has to be payed when using regular expressions
inside of patterns. Specifically, Mutt's parser for these patterns
will strip one level of backslash (\), which is normally used for
quoting. If it is your intention to use a backslash in the regular
expression, you will need to use two backslashes instead (\\).
