Universal Design Symbol Using Eudora Pro 3.0 with Shortcut Keys

Using mailboxes to group messages

Eudora initially organizes all in coming and out going E-mail according to the most recent date(s). In example "A" message dates are automatically arranged in the order of the most recent on the bottom line to the oldest appearing on the top line.

Example, A:

  1. 5/7/97 oldest
  2. 7/8/98 second oldest
  3. 5/7/99 most recent
The "most recent" always takes the position in either mailbox at the bottom line. The "second oldest" occupies the line immediately above the bottom line, and the "oldest" moves to the top etc.

The arrangement by the Date option is accomplished with typing the ALT + D keys.

 Example, B:

  1. William Goodman(5/7/97 oldest)
  2. Larry Clipp(7/8/98 second oldest)
  3. Adam Brown(5/7/99 most recent)
Even though proper names are now associated with ascending date order, example "B" the names remain unalphabetized.

Eudora can also alphabetize all in coming and out going E-mail according to the names of  people who sent each message. The arrangement by the Who option is accomplished with pressing the ALT key and typing the O key. The realphabetized name order does become truly alphabetized at the expense of chronological arrangement of dates illustrated in example "C".

Example: C

  1. Adam Brown(5/7/99 most recent)
  2. Larry Clipp(7/8/98 second oldest)
  3. William Goodman(5/7/97 oldest)
However, there are additional options for reorganizing the order of existing messages. Eudora has the capability to create not only an ascending date order, but within that "date order" alphabetize as well. An illustration in example "D" should clarify the point.

The two major options are found at the top columns of both mailboxes; they are: "Who" and "Date". To duplicate the format illustrated by example "D".

  1. Type the ALT + D key for the Date column.
  2. Type the ALT + SHIFT + O keys for the Who column.
Example: D
