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^-~]

Nope.  The only characters special inside of brackets are ^-] and probably
newline, though I haven't checked it.  [*] matches a literal asterisk.

Thanks, and thanks David too. :)

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

The asterisk is fine.  That message-id was rejected because of the space.

Damn X-400 gateways.  They still have to follow Internet RFCs if they 
want their messages to go over the Internet!
