Eudora User Manual Filtering Messages

from the Special menu while message summaries are selected in a mailbox window— but Eudora still filters the messages automatically during mail sends and checks. In short, checking Manual does not “turn off” Eudora’s automatic filtering for that filter.

Also, making a filter manual also gives you a good way to test the filter to your needs as soon as you set it up, rather than having to wait until the next time you send or check mail. After creating a manual filter with the Make Filter dialog box, check to see that it does what you want by selecting Filter Messages from the Special menu. Your open message or selected message summaries are immediately filtered according to the new filter.

You can choose one of three content matches: From, Any Recipient, or Subject.

From (selected by default)— Select to match the message against the From: field— the

sender— of the messages you selected. You can then edit the field. The From: field of a target message must contain the information in this box but does not have to exactly equal it. Note that if you selected multiple messages and they do not have a common sender, the From: field is unselectable and is left blank.

Any Recipient— Select to match the message against any of the recipients in the messages you selected (recipients are contained in the To: and Cc: fields and, in an outgoing message, the Bcc: field). Choose one recipient from the drop-down menu (accessed from the menu button next to the field), or edit the text in the field. Note that the information you enter in the field must be contained in any of the recipient fields of the target message but does not have to exactly equal any recipient field.

Subject— Select to match the message against the Subject: field of the messages you selected. If you have selected multiple messages and they do not have a common subject, this field is left blank. In either case you can edit the field. The subject line of a target message must contain the information in this box but does not have to exactly equal it.

Action Area

The Action area of the window lets you determine the one action that will be performed on messages that satisfy the Match Conditions you’ve specified for this filter. The three action choices are all message-transfer actions; they transfer the filtered message to a mailbox. For messages that satisfy your match conditions, your simple filter will transfer the messages to either a new mailbox, an existing mailbox, or your Trash mailbox.

Transfer to New Mailbox— Select to transfer the filtered message to a new mailbox that you will specify. The text field is filled in with a suggested new-mailbox name based on your selected content match condition (From, Any Recipient, or Subject). You can change this name if you like. The In Folder field is a label showing you the folder in which your new mailbox will be created. By default, this is the same folder that holds the mailbox containing the messages you’ve selected. The new mailbox is created as soon as you create this filter.

Note. You can set the value of the “In Folder” field to your own desired default folders based on the chosen match condition: From, Any Recipient, or Subject. Use the three Eudora.ini file entries FilterFromFolder, FilterRecipFolder, and FilterSubjectFolder, respec- tively. Enter the path as it appears on the mailbox window. For example: FilterFrom- Folder=mail-lists\entertainment. See “Eudora.ini File” on page 267. Click the page number to display the topic.
