Is is possible to create a kill file for incoming mail in Pine 3.9.  There  
are a few people on a mailing list that I am on that I would like not to  
hear from.  If it can be done, how do you do it.  reply to e-mail address  
below as I don't always get to read mail.  thanks.

I'd doubt it.  Pine just doesn't do input filtering like that.  Check the 
man pages for your mail system.  On MMDF, for instance, this sort of 
thing can be achieved using the .maildelivery function.  Other systems 
might or might not support this sort of thing.  Periodically, other 
people mention mail filter programs which might also achieve what you want.

None of these, of course, could provide a killfile approach for Pine's 
newsreading system.

Some of those programs are procmail and elm's filter program.

Is there any way to do kills for newsreading?  I assume threading may
be implemented someday, but killfiles are a necessity.
