[mew-int 00407] Re: Simple improvement for body greps

I think is is an "original" option.
I remember using it in ... SCO Xenix.
Xenix branched off from the AT&T sources ages ago (from V7, I think).
I'll check my Kernighan&Pike book, but -l is one of those options I've
used forever and never found missing.
