No, I meant it as I said it. Look at the expansions of ^TO and ^TO_ in the
procmailrc(5) manual page. When Stephen proposed changing ^TO (^TO_ didn't
exist yet) to add hyphens to the set of characters that it would consider to
be part of a word, I objected that it would break conditions where
^TOsomething was supposed to include matches on To: owner-something or To:
real-something. His decision was to leave ^TO as it was and add ^TO_
(which, he felt, was the name he should have given to the macro in the first
place) as it is.
A medial hyphen is no problem, but ^TO_ will not match a string that *ends*
in a hyphen (nor in a letter of the alphabet, a digit, or an underscore).
