Filtering Messages Eudora User Manual

QUALCOMM Incorporated
unless—If the message matches the first term, filter it unless the message also matches
the second term, in which case do not filter it. (This lets you exclude certain variations of
the first term.)
Filter Actions
For a filter you’re creating or modifying in the Filters window, all messages that match the
filter criteria are acted on as specified with the Actions drop down menus. Each filter can
do up to five things to a message that matches the criteria. You can use the same action
twice if it does not directly affect the original message. For example, “Copy To” can be
used twice, but not “Transfer To.”
Some filter actions have an associated icon. For these actions, Eudora places the action
icon next to the filter in the filters list. Up to five icons can appear per filter.
The Action options are as follows.
None—No action.
Make Status—Assigns the selected status to message summaries.
Make Priority—Assigns the selected priority level to messages. If you select a set level
from the drop-down menu, messages are set to that priority. If you select Raise or Lower,
messages are raised or lowered one priority level based on their pre-filter level.
Make Label—Assigns the selected label to messages. Label colors and names are set in
the Labels options window. See “Labels” on page 219. Click the page number to display
the topic.
Make Personality—Assigns the selected personality to messages. For outgoing
messages, the message is not sent from the assigned personality. For incoming
messages, all your responses to the message will be from the assigned personality until
you change the personality associated with the incoming message or your response. For
more information, see “Using Multiple Personalities” on page 75. Click the page number to
display the topic.
Make Subject—Assigns the new subject to message summaries (does not affect the
subject in the message itself). If you choose this option, the entire subject of the message
is replaced with the new subject. Use the “&” symbol to stand for the old subject if you
want to add the new subject to the old subject. For example, entering New Subject [was &]
results in New Subject [was Old Subject].
Play Sound—Plays the selected sound when messages are filtered.
Speak—Plays a voice to alert you of a message being filtered. Who and Subject fields
display as well as a drop-down list where you can choose a voice type. Check Who to
hear the voice read the sender’s name and Subject to hear the voice read the subject line.
Note. After you select Speak, the Who and Subject fields and a drop-down voice list
appear. If these fields are grayed out, you must install Microsoft’s Speech Engine appli-
cations. For more information, please refer to the readme.txt file in your Eudora
folder.
Open—Opens the mailbox and/or message when a message is received. If you set a
previous action to filter messages into a mailbox, then that mailbox is opened.
