 such as copying, moving, extracting, or reading, on
 this set of picked messages.

 The Pick dialog box allows you to specify the criteria
 for picking messages.

 Click on the fields to be used and enter the pick
 criteria. Text fields (the first five fields in the
 dialog box) search for matching text anywhere in the
 field and are not case sensitive. For example, entering
 the text John in the From: field might pick messages
 from Jane Johnson, John Doe, Olav Bejohnesson, and
 JOHN::SMITH.

 Click on the OK button to pick the designated messages,
 or the Cancel button to cancel the operation.

 Once a set of messages has been picked, the message
 index is updated to list only the picked messages. When
 the folder is closed, the picking criteria are lost and
 all messages are again available.

 A pick cannot be performed if a folder is open in
 multiple windows and contains messages to be moved or
 deleted. Close the folder in all additional windows to
 complete the move or delete operation before performing
 a pick.

 message in a folder other than INBOX, you can choose
 to read new mail in another Read window. Choose New
 Mail In New Window from the Read menu's In Window
 submenu to open a new Read window and display the
 first unread message in the INBOX folder.

 New mail cannot be added to the INBOX if a message in
 the INBOX is being read in a Read window other than
 the default Read window, or if you are replying to a
 message in the INBOX.

 To read an old message in another Read window, select
 the message and choose In New Window from the Read menu.

 If you have already opened multiple Read windows, you
 can specify the window in which to read the selected
 message by pulling down the main window's Read menu,
 displaying the In Window submenu, and choosing one of
 the listed Read windows.

 To use a different window as the default Read window,
 choose Make Default Window from the Read window's File
 menu. The [D] default symbol is displayed in the
 window's title bar, and it is removed from the previous
 default window's title bar.
