sieve patch

Courtesy of one of my colleagues:

There's a bug in the sieve bytecode interpreter implementation of the 
address :regex test. The regex is matched against the whole of the RFC822 
address from the header (including display name etc.) instead of just the 
address part (all/domain/etc.) that was specified. This is most noticeable 
if you use an anchored regex.

Here's a patch. (The code for non-regex comparisons in the following lines 
is correct, and this patch makes the regex code pass the same two initial 
parameters to the comparator.)

We have been running with this patch for a little over a week now and
it certainly seems to have fixed the problem.
