I've already answered the on "/". Well it could be a problem if you
wrote UNIX file paths in the form "/etc/" but since people normally
don't do that it is mostly a problem that exists in theory.

But there could be a big problem with * (any number of the preceeding
character). If we change the regexp from Martin to
^From.*(OWNER|owner)-(NOLIST|nolist)-.*\ *.* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(Note the spaces around the first "*.*")
you might see what I'm getting at. A bold "." written is hard to
distinguish from one that is written in a normal font, and it most
definitely is not the same thing as "*.*"

(Bad example, I know, but it's getting kind of late and I'm too tired to
make up my own examples).

In the last scene of Pagliacci, Canio stabs Nedda who is the one he
really loves. Pretty soon Silvio also gets stabbed, and they all live
happily ever after.
