If you want to ignore case distinctions, put the below in your
`~/.mew.el' file.

---- 
(setq mew-prog-grep "grep")
(setq mew-prog-grep-opts '("-i" "-l" "-e"))
(setq mew-prog-vgrep "grep")
(setq mew-prog-vgrep-opts '("-i" "-l" "-e"))

I didn't feel the pain.  I felt that `C-u' is easier than `all='.

Also, the "grep" program is replaceable.  For example, the `mg'
program is useful for Japanese messages.  (See mew.dot.mew also.)
