Subject: Pine and mail filtering!

I was wondering.  Is it possible to filter mail from your INBOX to 
different "inboxes"?  For instance.  I receive alot of mail from the 
localhost "ashland.edu" can I filter that mail into a "ashland" box?  
Could I filter @aol" mail into another box?  If so please tell me how, I 
think it would help me clean up the clutter!

Thanx!

Pine is unable to do this but a filtering program such as procmail can do 
it.  Procmail can be found at:

ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/procmail.tar.gz

For more information on filtering please see Nancy McGough's filtering 
FAQ which is posted/mailed to this group/list on a regular basis.

Yes, there is a way.  First you go to configure and enable the aggregate 
command option. Then you use the following commands:

Select  ';'  (the semi-colon is the select command)
 Text
 All text
 key in ashland.edu
Apply  'a' (means the following command applies to all selected mail)
Save
 key in name of the ashland box
Apply  'a'
Delete

I have a PC and a communications package that allows disk capture.  
Instead of saving to another box, I use the export command after the 
apply.  This exports selected mail to a file in my directory. Then I exit 
Pine and enter the shell. I turn on my capture buffer and use the Unix 
cat command to transfer all mail to there.  I then read the mail after 
signing off.
