#67 checkgmail fails to start when...

[Anonymous]

On Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy checkgmail (1.13svn) fails to start when mail check label contains brackets.

Excerpt from ~/.checkgmail/prefs.xml

<label_delay AA-LIST-[aixhu]="300" />

This error is produced on startup:

Deleting the label_delay tag from prefs.xml solves the issue.

That's happens because of non-standart symbols in label name, like `|`. I've renamed all my labels on Gmail using only A-Z,a-z and `_` symbols, and that's solved the issue.
