    1.25 +escaped with a leading backslash `\\'.
    1.26  
    1.27 -A leading '\' indicates that this address shall not be further expanded.

    1.29  
    1.30 -A leading pipe symbol '|' indicates that the item shall be treated as a pipe command. The content of the message will then be sent to the standard input of a command.
