You're matching an Internet address. The Hfrom: form ensures that trn
has the full address, even if you're using a an mthreads database that
only caches the real name.  For non-mthreads-using people, use either
one, but the rule is simple: /Hfrom: always matches the full From: line
while /f matches whatever is cached by your database (if you don't have
a database then the full From: line is all you have).
