Sigh. Sean, either your head is elsewhere today or you're attempting a

Lets not discuss where my head obviously must be. I spent much of the
night tracking down and fixing an elusive bug in gzip 1.2.4 which has been
intermittently plaguing me for some time.

You know the difference between starting with \< and starting with ()\<.
Doh!

So just how did those parentheses magically disappear from your revision
of my example?
I didn't _revise_ your example, I reposted mine. Of course, the reason
mine was working as I'd expected it to was caused by the fact that there
was parenthesis around the macro, not because the or with the BOL anchor.
(It still seems weird to think that there would be a newline at the top of
the message - say the From_ line, or at any other line).
To take advantage of the extended character class for address
encapsulation, one has to revert to using BOL and EOL anchors anyway, as
posted in my earlier message (and which doesn't make use of the \< \>
macros anyway):

I think I should take a vacation from the list and perhaps come back in a
month.
