Quoting it: "The Rmail sort commands perform a stable sort: if there is no reason to prefer either one of two messages, their order remains unchanged. You can use this to sort by more than one criterion. For example, if you use rmail-sort-by-date and then rmail-sort-by-author, messages from the same author appear in order by date." I tried to do this but, either the manual is wrong or me but the summary is just not sorted like it says. Doing this, there is only one sort taken into account, that is to say, my summary is sorted according to date and only to date. So, how do you really sort by author plus date ? More general request: is there a mechanism to setup rmail (variable, hook or anything like this) such a way it keeps memory of how I want my summary to be sorted ?
