Message:

Document that %f in $index_format is either Return-Path: or From:
depending on which parses correctly. Also note that alternates' regex
should be as precise as possible to avoid mismatches. Closes #1894.

     2381As addresses are matched using regular expressions and not exact strict 
     2382comparisons, you should make sure you specify your addresses as precise 
     2383as possible to avoid mismatches. For example, if you specify: 
     2384</para> 
     2385 
     2386<screen> 
     2387alternates user@example 
     2388</screen> 
     2389 
     2390<para> 
     2391mutt will consider ``<literal>some-user@example</literal>'' as 
     2392being your address, too which may not be desired. As a solution, in such 
     2393cases addresses should be specified as: 
     2394</para> 
     2395 
     2396<screen> 
     2397alternates '^user@example$' 
     2398</screen>
