Default Rule not matching "from" field

I want to set up a rule that will match words in the "From" field.
Sometimes I get mail like this:

From: ]

I want to match ".

I can't figure out how to match it. I can't pick "from people or
distribution list" because it won't let me match arbitrary email
addresses. I can't pick "with specific words in the sender's address" it
just doesn't work. So far as I can tell, it will only match the part in
the brackets.

Use the "with specific words in the message header" condition.
