If the servers at A and B have IMAP services enabled, you can configure Pine
to access the remote folder as a secondary INBOX (i.e.  incoming-folder). 
Then you don't have to worry about the duplication of forwarding...

Just put the following two lines into your .forward at your A account:

\A
B

So a copy will be kept at your A account.  The backslash is needed to
prevent infinite loops.

More specifically... the backslash tells sendmail that it's a system
mailbox, whereas without it, it tries to forward it a few dozen times
before it gives up (thirty, if I recall correctly).

Amazing how the "circular loop" logic is worked out with alias files
whereas the .forward can still confuse (one word, makealiaes?  *smile*)
