The problem here was that a space should follow the field, but it may
not. The user may unwarily backup over it. "\s*" would match this
case.
But if there is a space, it is included in the "(.+)". So I tried
"\s+", which did not include the space, but it won't include the first
address if there isn't a space after the field.
The quantified subpattern seemed to do the trick. But, if it could
result in a dependency issue, I would agree this would be a bad idea.
