If we're talking about matchc() ... that's just strstr(), right?

You know ... I know nmh is terrible about this, but 0x00 IS a valid character
in email, right?  We don't deal with that in all kinds of ways, but without
lengths in strstr() we have no hope of dealing with it.  I'm perfectly willing
to punt on this for now, though.

Hm ... RFC 5322 says that the valid range is 1-127.  I suppose if you had a
message using 8bit, then 0x00 would be valid.  Sigh.
