Subject: Filter incoming mail

Does anybody know how I would go about filtering my incoming mail into 
multiple folder? It mentions a bit in .PINERC but I can't figure our how 
to get it working.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,

Kevin S.

There is no mail filtering built into Pine, but it happily handles the
results of other mail filter programs.

A popular one is "procmail", which can be obtained (according to its
documentation) at:  ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de as
pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz

I've been using it quite happily for a few months now.  When it "broke"
for a few days (actually, our user disk filled, so all it could do was
stuff all incoming mail into my mail mail file) I realized just how
quickly I'd come to depend on it!
