Subject: Question: Is Kill Possible in Pine?

I'm getting undesired email and would like to kill it without ever 
reading it.  Is there any way to do that in Pine?

Thanks,

    Not in Pine, at least as of version 3.91.  However, depending on what 
operating system you are running under, you may be able to use software 
which preprocesses the mail before Pine ever sees it.  You could implement 
a kill that way.  Procmail under Unix is one way (although for anything 
beyond the simplest mail filtering it helps to be Unix-experienced to use 
procmail most effectively).
