The regexp could be made more specific.  Here is an example from
<http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.cryptopp>:

--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~

Yes, both, the manual and the custom choice for the variable could
include ready-to-use examples.  Same for

It simply was an example for a banner from a "Google Group".

Why not? :-) In case your contribution (preferably a diff against the
current version) exceeds ~15 lines, we need a copyright assignment,
though.
