If ``x'' is ommitted, it will default to the ``Subject'' header field. |

The form ``/to:y'' is a special case, and will expand |

to all messages containing the substring ``y'' in the ``To'', ``Cc'' |
|
or ``Bcc'' header fields. |
|
The check for "to" is case sensitive, so that |
|
``/To:y'' can be used to limit the search for ``y'' to just |
|
the ``To:'' field. |
