I see two problems with this hook:
1) it also accepts merit.org and nanog.edu
2) it gets parsed this way: "(~C ...) | (...) | (...)"
I'u use
save-hook "~C 'nanog@(nanog\.org|merit\.edu)'" +nanog
# ^ ^
(BTW it's easy to get lost in various ways of quoting. I'm not sure if
`\.' shouldn't be replaced to `\\.' in this case. A couple of my
save-hooks look like this:
save-hook '~C "\\<foo@bar"' +foo
I've found the need for double backslashes by trial and error. Perhaps
`[.]' would be a better and more universal solution?)
