While it'll be more _accurate_, I'm not convinced it'll actually be

It should be faster because the "^--" will fail immediately on most lines
in the body, so the rest of the complicated regex never has to be tried.
But David's regexp started with "^Content-", so the same could be said
about it. If procmail's regexp engine used Boyer-Moore then the longer
fixed string in your regexp would improve the speed, but it doesn't.
