wesley chun <wescpy at gmail.com> added the comment:

i wanted to add one additional comment that it would be nice to have a
regex that works with search() (in addition to match()) because such
an email address may appear in the middle of a line, say a From: or
To: email header.

the fix of using a '$' prevents this from happening, so i'm not 100%
satisfied with the patch although it does fix the regex to get it
working with match().
