8e2a32a0eSderaadt# files, but the first character in most subsequent lines is 'h' instead of
9e2a32a0eSderaadt# 'M'.  (xxencoding uses lowercase letters in place of most of uuencode's
10e2a32a0eSderaadt# punctuation and survives BITNET gateways better.)  If regular expressions

12e2a32a0eSderaadt# "begin\040\.\*\012M" or "begin\040\.\*\012h" (where \. and \* are REs).
