Upon opening the Inbox, the mail is displayed in some sorted sequence. Normally, the mail is sorted by date, with the most recent at the top of the list. If a user receives many emails per day, he or she must ration the amount of time spent reading and replying to email. Hence, the decision to read or to delete is made based on subject, sender, and priority. In the Mulberry system, email is marked for deletion.
Deletion is like throwing something in the trash basket.
Until the trash is emptied it can be retrieved. When one exits Mulberry, the deletion becomes expunged automatically, i.e. the trash basket is emptied. In some mail systems the attachments are indicated as icons that tell the reader the attachments' name and type. Once the list of recipients is complete, a dialog box for creating the reply appears. At the top of the original message, type the response.
