Hi Eli,

This works for me as the manual says. What version of Emacs are you
using, and on what platform?
I am using GNU Emacs 23.0.51.2 on Slackware GNU/linux 12.0.
Please describe _exactly_ what commands you invoked and in what order,
and also what you expected to see vs what you actually saw.
I did things in this precise order:
M-x rmail RET
M-x rmail-sort-by-author RET
M-x rmail-sort-by-date RET
In the end I just had messages sorted by date but not by author.
What I would have expected to see (according to my understanding
of the manual) is this
author-a date1
author-a date2
author-a date3
author-b date2
author-b date3
But I got:
author-a date1
author-a date2
author-b date2
author-a date3
author-b date3
that is to say I only got mails sorted by date and not sorted by
author plus sorted by date.
Apart this, I also need to know how to sort my mails according to
my taste on rmail startup.
Regards,
Xavier
