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
