A file contains the following line:
Subject: Re: Icarus factor...
Attempt is made to retrieve it with the following command:
grep -i '^subject:.*re' 24289
This does not work with 3.5 grep. It does work with 4.0 grep & 3.5
egrep.
Note that the following 2 variations do work:
grep -i '^subject:.*Re' 24289
grep 'Subject:.*Re' 24289
