-
- 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.
