# grepmail.sh, a wrapper script for the grepmail script to run grepmail
#              in a loop. Nice for use to run in a Multi Gnome Terminal 
#              Tab.
#
# Requires: grepmail script, which requires mboxgrep. banner.sh is optional.
#
# Note: Extra \ escapes are required to survive passing through various 
# shell levels. Use like: John\\\\sDoe, to have \s passed to mboxgrep.
