Match Conditions

The Match Conditions area of the dialog box helps you set up the criteria that will deter- mine whether a particular message will be acted on by this filter.

You can specify that the type of messages you are interested in should be Incoming and/or Outgoing. You can also specify that this should be a Manual filter (described below). You can check and uncheck any combination of the three boxes: Incoming, Outgoing, and Manual.

Note. If the messages you selected when you chose Make Filter were in any mailbox other than your Out mailbox, the Incoming and Manual check boxes are checked automat- ically. If the messages you selected were in your Out mailbox, the Outgoing and Manual check boxes are checked automatically.

■Incoming— If this box is selected, then any incoming message that satisfies the content match condition you specify will be acted on according to the action you’ve specified in this filter.

■Outgoing— If this box is selected, then any outgoing message that satisfies the content match condition you specify will be acted on according to the action you’ve specified in this filter. The matching and action occurs after the message has been sent.

■Manual— If this box is selected, then when you select one or more message summa- ries in a mailbox window and choose Filter Messages from the Special menu, the incoming and/or outgoing messages selected that satisfy the content match condition you specify will be acted on according to the action you’ve specified in this filter. This option is useful when testing your filter or manually filtering messages that you have already received or sent.

Note. If Incoming or Outgoing is selected (or both), the filter is automatic; that is, Eudora performs the filter operation behind the scenes, automatically, when you send or check mail. If you now also select Manual, the filter becomes both automatic and manual, meaning, you can now manually perform the filter operation by selecting Filter Messages
