Is there a way that either 'john or John' match this From line?

fwiw: may be a shortcoming unique to your distro or version.  it works on
my openSUSE Tumbleweed, mutt-1.6.0.

Also works for me on Debian Jessie / mutt 1.6.2-neo.

And on mutt 1.5.24 on OSX from MacPorts.

Can you supply a concrete example From: address line and the nonmatching limit pattern? Your example sounds paraphrased from a real example, perhaps for privacy reasons. However, we need something we can replicate. One approach would be to copy the problematic message, edit the copy to address privacy issues, then reproduce the problem using the copy. Then post.
