Damjan,

I think there will be unexpected complications with this approach.
Consider this:

$ echo "docs: fix http:/foo.example.com:8080/fred use." |  sed -e
's/\(.*\):.*/\1/'
docs: fix http:/foo.example.com

That won't match "docs:", nor any other valid I: word in any case where
there is an
additional colon later in the subject line.  It will also allow false
positives like this
subject:  "whanged on ip stuff: it was messed up".

Historically, these things have been keywords individually terminated by a
colon, as
I gave in my example.  Once the collection of keywords is gathered, strip
the trailing
colons for validity comparisons.

Just a thought.
