Message states

A message can be in one or more of three states:

  • Not viewed

    The message is not currently in the view list, although it is still in the saved message file and is available for viewing.

  • Viewed

    The message is currently in the view list. Select messages in the view list individually or as a group.

  • Selected

    The message is selected in preparation for an operation on the saved message file. After messages are selected, resend or remove them from the saved message file.

A message can be in several states at once. For example, a message that is being viewed can also be selected. A message can also be selected but not viewed. This would happen when a message has been previously selected, but the current display is another view list.
