[mew-int 01076] Using GREP to Search Subfolders

[Charles Muller]

The structure of my Mew-Mail directories is such that I have a folder
named from/ under which I have many sub-directories for various types of
correspondence.

I have been successful with using the Grep tool to search for strings
within one directory, for example, if I do

grep -n -e XML *

while I am in the folder "from/tei" I can turn up all strings with
"XML". But what I would like to use Grep for most of all is to find a
message when I can't remember where I filed it under the "from"
folder. In other words, I want to search for a string in all sub-folders
under "from".

I tried adding the -d switch, and -r switch, but in both cases, the
search turns up nothing. Can someone offer any advice on how to do this?
