Trust Signature REs

[Nicholas Cole]

If I tell gnupg to make a trust signature limited to the domain:

nowhere.com

it converts this into <[^>]+[@.]nowhere\\x5c.com>$

I see the logic.

However, if I am trying to copy this re from one signature to another,
and I tell gnupg to limit a trust signature to "
<[^>]+[@.]nowhere\\x5c.com>$ ", it does not recognise this as a
regular expression, but instead converts it to "
<[^>]+[@.]\x5c<\x5c[\x5c^\x5c>\x5c]\x5c+\x5c[\x5c@\x5c.\x5c]nowhere\x5c\x5cx5c\x5c.com\x5c>\x5c$>$
"

Is there any way to tell gnupg that I am actually entering a raw re
and do not wish it to do any conversion?

Best wishes,

N.
