You only need to include your email address(es) in
message-dont-reply-to-names, you don't need to try to match the entire
text.

Using

    (setq message-dont-reply-to-names "uwe_brauer@bla.bla")

should work and match both cases above.

And for creating a regexp that matches a list of strings, try
regexp-opt.  If you had a second address uwe_brauer@foo.foo, you could
use:

    (setq message-dont-reply-to-names
          (regexp-opt '("uwe_brauer@bla.bla"
                        "uwe_brauer@foo.foo")))

The second argument to regexp-opt must be a list of STRINGS, not
regexps.
