Philip, I have a question about this big beauty.  In the regexp, you have
three servings of bracket salad: [-!#-'*+/-9=?A-Z^-~]  Should the
asterisks within these be escaped with backslashes: [-!#-'\*+/-9=?A-Z^-~]

I had a bad match with this recipe on this:
Message-ID: <35e460cbText Review*(_at_)m400gw(_dot_)wiley(_dot_)com>
