I looked up rfc822 comments on the web and found at
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc822/3_Lexical.html:
comment = "(" *(ctext / quoted-pair / comment) ")"
ctext = <any CHAR excluding "(", ; => may be folded
")", "\" & CR, & including
linear-white-space>
quoted-pair = "\" CHAR ; may quote any char
After some thought, I figured out why you your code doesn't work:
it turns "( \( )" into "( \"
You might be able to fix this problem using subgroups, but it's going to
be fairly tricky code.
