ters, search and display those messages. Regular Expression is a search string that
uses special characters to match text characters. For example, if you are searching for
messages sent to you by two people, choose From in the first drop-down options list,
then choose matches regexp, then type their usernames between brackets separated
by a vertical pipe symbol, for example (bobclark)|(janedoe) in the text box.
Eudora searches and displays all messages from these two people. For more informa-
tion concerning regular expressions, refer to the readme.txt file in the Eudora folder, or
click the following URL:

criteria from one level to the other. “Match All” will find messages that match all of the
criteria you entered; “Match Any” will find messages that match any of the criteria you
entered.
