RFC2822 specifies in paragraph 3.6.8, that optional header fields are
made up of any printable US-ASCII character except ' ' (space) and ':'
(colon).
The pattern for the egrep command is changed to match all of these
characters.

Hi,
I had a problem with applying a patch with 'git am', because the one
header fields in the patch-e-mail contained numbers. So I read the
RFC2822 what they say about header fields. Unbelievable but any
printable character except space and colon are allowed in header fields.
So I changed the egrep expression according to this rule.
Regards,
chressie
