How should the following test be evaluated when matched against a
From:user4(_at_)localdomain header ?
if header :matches "from" "us?"
":matches" should behave like ":is" or like ":contains" ?
It should fail; :matches behaves like :is. If behavior like :contains
is desired, the user should include a star at both ends of the pattern.
This was clarified in the 3028bis I-D in rev -01 or so, where the
description of :matches in section 2.7.1 starts:
The ":matches" match type specifies a wildcard match using the
characters "*" and "?"; the entire value must be matched. <...>
