verifying subjects with parenthesis requires escaping the parenthesis

[chadoh]

I had this step:

Then "roger@example.com" should receive an email with subject "Someone (hopefully you!) submitted for you!"

and, though I could p ActionMailer::Base.deliveries and see that there was such an email that had been sent, the step would not pass until I changed it to:

Then "roger@example.com" should receive an email with subject "Someone \(hopefully you!\) submitted for you!"

Which makes the feature look weird. I know email-spec is doing a regex match behind the scenes, which is very helpful, but since the subject is in quotes in this step, I think it would make sense to escape regex characters like parens.

Thanks for the wonderful gem and all the hard work you put into it!

You should probably just create your own step_definition for this that uses == instead of =~ in the RSpec matching.

Looks like this is already fixed as of a23d1a6 and shoud be in 1.4.0
