Subject: Filter and direct mail (two users with one account and one pine)

Hi!

I have a question--I'm working with pine 3.91 on a unix system v system
and have a problem: The greatest Love of my live *smile* wants to send a
few mails, but she wants not to have an own account.
                         ^^^
Now i thought that it would be possible to define two incoming folders
(that's not really the problem, of course) and install a program that can
direkt HER mails to HER incoming folder and MY mails to MY incoming folder.

That program should be able to direct the mail in depedence on i.e. the 
subject or the address (To- or From-Field) or perhaps the content of the 
body.

I need the name of some of such programs (and the location of such 
programs (i.e. ftp-server)) and a "how-to-install-manual" for that.

Please send a Cc of your answer to ma (PM). Thank you very much for 
helping me!

Bye.

	Ralf

Use a filter!

Problem:
The filter cannot tell you two apart as you're using the same address.
So the filter can only sort mails depending on the subject.
This can only be done iff the sender knows which subject to chose to send to
either you or your girlie.  If the sender fails to send the correct subject
then the filter won't know.

It's a lot easier to get an account be done with.
Anyway, allowing others on your account is "verboten"!

... and a person who does the installation for you.
And another one to explain it to you.

PM := PostMail := Email   (BBS hackers - sheesh!)
