three problems, all related:

(setq vm-reply-ignored-addresses '("\\bkpc\\b"))

when somebody from kpc.com sends me mail (From: person@kpc.com), the
summary says the mail is to me (i have jwz's to header hack), and when
i reply to the mail it gives me a blank to line.

how can i improve this regexp?  can vm be updated to allow me not to
worry about improving it?  aren't address conventions built into vm or
mail-extr?

in a related problem,

(setq vm-invisible-header-regexp
      "^To: kpc$\\|^To: kpc@[^ ,]*$")

and so on is how i try to make mail to me (but only to me) have the
from header invisible.  but it needs to be more complicated for all
the address formats.  is there a way not to have to get complicated
with regexps?

"kpc@\\|kpc\\b[^.]"

Not in VM.  VM does basic parsing.  It can breka onup lists of
addresses but does not do much inside of the address itself.

I assume you mean make the _To_ header invisible in this case.
No, there's no way to avoid terribly complex regexps if you want
to do it right.
