I assume the double backslash was inserted by your mailer.
How about this (the same as above but without the dot):

  /^\[([^[\]]*?)\]/

meaning: At line begin match a single "[" followed by a sequence of anything
but "[" or "]" and a closing "]"

another variant:

 /^\[([^[]?.*?)\]/


meaning: At line begin match a single "[" followed by zero or one "non ]",
followed by anything, followed by "]"
