A colleague (lets call him John) ran into this recipe several
times, always with mails like this:
...
Subject: Next meeting ...
...
Body:
  ... on Wednesday 2pm in our meeting room.
...
John.

Guess what:  I had to resent it to the list.  My .signature was
added, and thus the mail had some lines starting with a letter,
and the recipe did not fire anymore.
Sorry, I forgot the space and the tab in the 3rd line before the
a-z0-9. That means the recipe is canceled if there is no alphabetic,
quoting or whitespace character in the first 8 lines, I think.

	:0
	* $$=^0
	* !B ?? ^^(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$(.*$)?)?)?)?)?)?)?)?[^]>}  a-z0-9]
	* 9876543210^0 B ?? ^^.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$.*$
	{ }

So, I think if the recipe started working, it was because of the
length of the email, rather than the first character in the line
not being a space or tab.
