I'm using Pine to read my E-mail and would like to filter certain 
incoming messages to a particular folder other than IN-COMING.

The man pages don't say anything about filters but .pinerc has the following 
section.

# incoming-folders are those other than INBOX that receive new messages.
# Folder syntax: optnl-label {optnl-imap-hostname}folder-path
# Use only if you filter incoming email into multiple files or receive
# email on several different machines.
# Example:
# incoming-folders=Consulting       {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-help,
#                  Widget-Project   {carson.u.washington.edu}filter/to-widget,
#                  Old-Student-Acct {imap.berkeley.edu}inbox

Does this example mean that incoming E-mail with a subject line 
Consulting would be filtered into the folder help?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm...  That's a new mis-interpretation of the .pinerc comments ;)

No, Pine does not do delivery filtering.  You need an external filter 
program to accomplish that.  Someone at netcom should be able to tell you 
what is available there and how to use it...
