Comes here Mr. Matt Schnierle with this opinion in the "comp.mail.pine" group in
this article on 16 Feb 1995 00:39:04 GMT:

 + I'm new to both UNIX and Pine and cannot figure out how to set up a "kill"
 + file type setup in Pine.  Specifically, I would like to only see articles
 + of a particular subject in a particular newsgroup.  How might I set this
 + up?  Any advice, suggestions, flames, whatever will be appreciated.  Thanks.

'kill' filter option is not avail. in Pine as yet.

  true... but... read the question... instead of "kill", you can
  use select and then zoom.
  use ; (select) then t (text) s (subject) , input the name of the
  subject and then z (zoom)... you will only see articles regarding
  that subject... which is like killing all others...

  Or..if you want to "kill" certain person... use ; t t (to) then
  input the name of the person and then use A (action on selected
  articles) and D (delete)... after that, use X... answer Y(yes)...
  and all articles from that person will "disappear".
  NOt the same than a killfile (is not completely automatic)... but
  handy anyway... 

  (would it be possible to develop a pearl script to act as
  killfile?)
