{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 This is the help panel from MailManager's message selection criteria panel. This panel allows you to select messages in the mailbox based on certain characteristics. This will either change the selected messages in a mailbox browser, or change the membership of a zoomed mailbox browser (zoomer).\
Message criteria serve to eliminate messages which do not match the criteria. The resulting selected messages are only those messages which match }
{\f0\i\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 all}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 the criteria. For example, a criteria list of }
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 from }
{\f1\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 Crispin}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 , }
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 subject}

{\f1\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 19-Jul-89}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 will eliminate all messages except those sent before July 19, 1989 with "Crispin" in the from and "Tokyo" in the subject. If you want messages which match any of a set of criteria, use the "Retain Previous Selection" switch discussed below with multiple selections.\
The first set of criteria relate to fields inside a message. If any of these criteria are blank, that particular criterion is not applied. For example, a blank "subject" field means "any subject".\

{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 match the given string with the mailbox or personal name field of any address in the corresponding field of the envelope of a candidate message. Because of this, it is not necessary to give a complete mail address; either "MRC" or "Crispin" will match}

{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 matches the given string as a substring of a subject in the envelope of a candidate message. Usually a particular key word or phrase is used.}
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 \
. Text }
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 matches the given string as a substring of the textual body of a candidate message. As with subject, generally a particular key word or phrase is used.}
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 \

{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 The next set of criteria refer to a date or date range that the message may have. The date referred to is the date that the message was placed in your mailbox (i.e. the date you received the message) and does }

{\f1\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 dd-mmm-yy}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 format; for example }
{\f1\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 19-Jul-89}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 . If there is no date in the first field than date specifications are ignored.\
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 . Date}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 matches the date of the candidate message as being on or after midnight of the date in the first field but before midnight of the next day (i.e. the date must match exactly). The date in the second field is ignored.\
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 . Before}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 matches the date of the candidate message as being before midnight of the date in the first field. If the second field is present the date of the candidate message must also be on or after midnight of the date in the second field.\
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 . After}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 matches the date of the candidate messages as being on or after midnight of the date in the first field. If the second field is present the date of the candidate message must also be before midnight of the date in the second field.\
The third set of criteria refers to status flags that a message may have. Each row represents a list of mutually-exclusive status flag options. In each row, the }
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 Any}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 option means that that particular flag criteria doesn't apply (for example, }
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 Any}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 in the row with }
{\f0\b\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 Deleted}
{\f0\fs24\fi0\li0\ql\gray0 will match both deleted and undelete messages). The status flags are:\
