The "*" prefix means any number of items _not_ separated by commas; the
"#" prefix means that they are separated by commas. The example --
In-Reply-To: <some.string@DBM.Group>, George's message
in RFC 822 section A.3.3 is inconsistent with the syntax --
/ "In-Reply-To" ":" *(phrase / msg-id)
in section D.
