    Theoretically, that shouldn't matter though, should it?  I've been
extracting $Sender for a while now, and everything I get is in the form of:

#ZDNet:  <Online#3.6184.ff-wC7ol8i3fyro.1.b at newsletter.online.com>
#Yahoo:  <reminders at yahoo-inc.com>
#Me:     "Ashley M. Kirchner" <ashley at pcraft.com>

    And if I'm only matching part of that, ( =~ /newsletter\.online\.com/ or =~
/reminders\@/ or =~ /\@pcraft\.com/ ), it should work without complaining.
Unless I'm missing a fundamental problem.  You don't usually get an angle
bracket within the domain name, or username - that's just asking for the MTA to
go 'huh?' and barf.
