^TO_.* actually makes sense

2002-12-07 05:51:15
I read somewhere that the ".*" is not necessary after the TO_ token.
Not so, contrary to popular belief.  For example,
^TO_mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com fails to match the following cases:

myrebate(_dot_)1(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com
techhelp(_dot_)8(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com
contest(_dot_)2(_dot_)mindfuq(_at_)spamgourmet(_dot_)com

This is because TO_ specifically excludes punctuation that appears
prior to the username.. So I'm reverting from "^TO_" to "^TO_.*".
