[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Greetings,

I'm using grep version 3.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.

I noticed today that if you grep the attached file with:

grep -I \. cs.po | grep '^Binary'

... the message "Binary file ..." that should be suppressed still appears.  That is, the -I option doesn't behave as expected here.

Is this intentional?

Thanks,
Jason
