It's not even a regular expression, it's just a "beginning of string"
match.
"subscribe vim" matches "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and so on -- anything that begins with "vim".
Because it's a simple string comparison (case-insensitive), you
*can* also specify the full address, if you want.
