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.
