Re: Finding a name inside of an email

Shows what happens when you learn something and don't keep up with
command changes. I would have written that command as:

find ~/Maildir -type f -exec fgrep -i ledoux {} /dev/null \;

which also shows the filename since you've fooled grep into thinking
it's searching >1 file :)
