.htaccess rewrite rule for URL with round bracket

The company I work for just recently sent out a mass email and got the URL for the footer wrong. The correct URL is /email/footer.png, but the email has the URL /email/footer.png) (note the trailing bracket).

I have tried the following .htaccess RewriteRule with no luck. RewriteEngine is on, mod_rewrite.c is loaded, and rewrites are working for a number of other RewriteRules:

RewriteRule ^/email/footer\.png\)$ /email/footer.png

Does anyone know the fix for this?

You need to remove the leading slash from your uri pattern

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^email/footer\.png\)$ /email/footer.png [L,R]
