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 -- http://www.gnu.org http://www.april.org http://www.lolica.org
