That's not quite what I meant. formailrc satisfies the regex formail, and 
hence matches. If you wish to argue the semantics of a 'match' go ahead; for 
me, matching is when a regex is satisfied - nothing to do with what part of 
the data satisfied it, or whether or not putting () around it would extract 
the whole of the data.

Cheers,
