How do I file my incomming mail automatically into folders? 

For example I receive the newsletter Edupage every other week. I would like it
to be automatically filed in a folder names edupage.

	Simple....  pick up a "filter" program such as procmail or deliver
or filter (from the elm distribution).

	The most comprehesive (IMHO) is procmail.....from the FAQ:

A recent version can be picked up at various comp.sources.misc archives.
The latest version can be obtained directly from the ftp-archive at:

        ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (137.226.112.172)

Edit your .pinerc file and make the following option Yes.

# If "yes" default folder name to sender when saving mail
elm-style-save=yes

Thank you for the suggestions. We have the filter program on our system 
and since this is also the easier one to use I gave it a try. Only one 
problem, ... when I put the line 

| /usr/local/bin/filter -o~/.elm/clp.filter_errors

in my .forward file all my mail goes no where. It gets returend to the 
sender.

Any ide why?
