Ok I have some Questions about Pine.
Is there a Kill file that i can use when reading news with pine?
Is there a way to make incoming mail from certian people go to a 
differant folder in pine? I am on a couple mailing list and would like 
the mailing list's to have their own incoming folder.
Is there a way to uuencode stuff and uudecode stuff with pine?

If these features are not in pine will they be added?

    Pine as such will not do it.

    Again, Pine as such will not do it.  You have to preprocess the mail 
before Pine gets it.  On Unix and its derivatives, Procmail and Filter 
are two widely used programs for preprocessing mail this way.

> Is there a way to uuencode stuff and uudecode stuff with pine?

    Uuencode?  No, unless you uuencode it first out of Pine and then read 
it into a message with Ctrl-R.  Uudecode?  Yes, under Unix, if you enable 
Unix piping and pipe a message through uudecode to a separate file in the 
current directory (and provided your uudecoder can handle extraneous 
lines at the top).

> If these features are not in pine will they be added?

    That is up to the Pine Development Team.  I don't know, but a lot of 
people are waiting to find out.
