What has happened is the match for unquoted filenames is too general
- the dot . which replaced the \w has matched any characters until it
finds a .com, because lines are folded and .com is an executable
type. Note that the .com is part of the email address in the vcard -
vcards from people with addresses in other domains seem to pass the
filter ok. This also explains why the vcard is included in the error
message.
We set ours to \S which may not be perfect but is better. If we could
figure out how to limit the match once the first double space is hit
the match would not go beyond the header and the scope of the match
could be widened again.
