## Q&A

  Q I don't think I can see the major difference between the matching methods for strings, that is exact match , substring match , and fuzzy match . When should I use which?

  A A rule of thumb that I use is

- Use exact match or substring match for email addresses.

- Use fuzzy match for subjects

- Use exact matches when covering message IDs (for example, when matching threads)

  Q How do I delete a score I've made?

  A I don't think there are any easier ways than editing the file with the score. You may do that by selecting Edit Current Score File from the Score menu. This file is in a syntax that resembles Lisp, but you should be okay if you delete an equal number of opening and closing braces. When you are finished, press C-c C-c.to exit.
