A quick search on 16668 mails here found 424 false positives.
Example the message at origin of this thread is sent by Brian Medley
<bpm-lists-mutt-dev AT bmedley DOT org>. It's not uncommon to use such
specific aliases for mailing list subscriptions, Bill and Kyle are also
good examples.
I could not find any false positive for your specific send-hook
pattern, but already encountred several times various nasty problems
(and even bug reports) due to such lax non-anchored regexps. That's why
I always advice to write the strictest possible regexps for a given
goal. Especially when generated automatically: Costs not so much.
