Creating an Auto-Reply Message

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)

You can create an email message that can be sent to people automatically when you are on vacation or away from your computer. This message is called an auto-reply. You create an auto-reply by using Eudora’s stationery and filter functions.

Before you create the auto-reply, make sure that the Check for mail every _ minutes (the value you enter must be greater than 0) and Send on check options are turned on in the Checking Mail options window. See “Checking Mail” on page 199. Click the page number to display the topic.

Also, make sure you have entered your incoming mail server’s password for your current session or have Eudora save your password.

To create an auto-reply, do the following.

1Write your auto-reply message using Eudora’s Stationery functions. Once the auto-reply message is written, name and save it in stationery. See “Creating New Stationery” on page 71. Click the page number to display the topic.

2From the Tools menu, choose Filters. The Filters window appears.

3In the Match section, choose a header from the Header drop-down list. Select a header that matches the header in the messages to whom you want to send your auto-reply. <<Any Recipient>> is the most common for an auto-reply.

Important. If you choose <<Any Recipient>>, all recipients including mailing list you subscribe to will receive your auto-reply.

For example, to set an auto-reply only to messages sent to your user name, just select <<Any Recipient>>, then choose “contains.” In the text box, enter your user name. You can match others as well, but it may cause a large number of emails to be auto-replied.

4In the Action section, choose Reply with in the first drop-down list.

5In the text box to the right of the first drop-down list, enter the name of the stationery.

6Click OK. The stationery message you created will be sent to the people you indicated in this filter.

Important. Remember to delete this filter when you want your auto-reply message to stop.

Sorting Messages Within Mailboxes

When you check your mail and new messages come into your In box or are filtered into other mailboxes, the new messages are placed in their mailboxes in the order in which they arrive. By default, these new messages appear at the bottom of the message summary list in the mailbox window. Note that this is not necessarily a strict date order, since occasionally messages may arrive out of date order. (The date indicates when the message was sent, not when you receive them.)
