[comp.mail.elm] How do I sort different folders differently?

ian@airs.UUCP (Ian Lance Taylor) (03/05/91)

I apologize if this is an FAQ, but...

I like having my mail folders sorted so that the most recent message
is the first one.  However, I want to have my incoming mail sorted so
that the *least* recent message is the first one.  This lets me easily
read my mail in the order it came in, which is convenient for mailing
list discussions.  As far as I can figure out, elm uses a single
sorting rule for all folders.  Is there any way to do what I want?

Thanks in advance.

Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies have been on dead people.
