Re: Message-Id: regexp

Gregory Sutter asked Philip Guenther [but he asked in public, so I'll butt
in without compunction],

| 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^-~]

No need.  Asterisks and several other magic characters are ordinary when they
appear inside braces.

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

That was from the unescaped space, probably, not from the asterisk.
