No, but this might help. Here is a function by Chip Campbell, which can
tell you the colour 'type' (don't know what you call it in Vim-speak) of
a the <cword>.
function! HiCheck()
let i = "hi<"
let i = i . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
let i = i . "> trans<"
let i = i . synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
let i = i . "> lo<"
let i = i . synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
let i = i . ">"
:echo i
endfunction
I have this in my .vimrc :
nmap <F6> :call HiCheck()<CR>
So, you could just put the cursor under the offending word, hit <f6>,
and voila!, you know what syntax region it's part of. Then, you could
find your way through $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/mail.vim, and figure out why
the said regexp is being matched.
You could, optionally, cook up your own syntax file, and use that
instead, so you don't have to go through such rude shocks ;-)
Ok, this was waaay OT, so I should stop now before I get kicked off the
list :-)
