The wildcarding done natively for (n)wildsearch only supports
a leading asterisk. You can use full-RE instead, but those
are marked with a leading caret.

Mind, as chapter 10 says, there's no advantage in specifying
nwildsearch for this address-list over just using the filename
as (the sole) list element.
