Using the re module (Regular expressions)

[Peter Hansen]

Maybe partly because you've misspelled the word "Received".  :-)  (Or
are you really trying to catch a misspelled line like that?)

(In grade school we poor native English speakers had to learn, along
with 423 other rote memorization drills this one: "'i' before 'e' except
after 'c' or sounding like 'a' as in 'neighbour' or 'weigh'".  

And that's without even going into the fact that we poor Canadians had
to learn the difference between 'neighbour' and the American version
'neighbor', and why we used the British spelling in that case but don't
use words like 'spanner' and 'boot'....)
