Heh, thank you for noticing. I actually wondered about that while
writing it and meant to test, but then got distracted.

I wonder "am --scissors" should actually look for the _first_ scissors.
I guess that has the opposite problem, which is that we might include
too much cruft in an email that uses scissors. Perhaps "too much" is a
better failure mode than "too little", though.
