You didn't read the rest of my message, did you? :-)

I value crossposting very much, but only when appropriate.  The point
is that, if a message was posted *only* to bug-libtool@gnu.org, I
don't want it to appear in my libtool mail group, only in bug-libtool.
But, if a message was posted to bug-libtool *and* libtool@gnu.org, I
want the message in both.

My particular problem is just an instance of a more general problem:
there's no way (that I know of) to match a *complete* e-mail address.
We can only match sub-strings that are a full word (or more than one
word), but I'd like to be able to say that I don't want to match
partial incomplete addresses, or at least to say `this must match a
complete e-mail address'.  Could somebody *please* prove me wrong? :-)
