Yup. FTR, the ? at the end of the first line may be similarly encoded, but
since unescaped, the ? is a regexp token, which in this case fails in a
benign fashion, it wasn't being interpreted AS a literal ?, and so the
first line matches on the merits of all the preceeding text.
One more question, if you don't mind: AIUI, these "*" lines are actually
regular expressions. So wouldn't "." match any character anyway? Or
would it require a [.*] to match =2E? Or am I totally off-base?
=2E is three characters. To properly match either form, use:
(\.|=2E)
Same goes for the question mark:
(\?|=3F)
