Hi

Can I set up pine to automatically file
incoming messaages to folders based on the messages
from or subject fields. I know you can do this 
in elm.

	Well, it can't be done with elm alone.  You need to configure
"filter" from the elm distribution.  You can continue to use "filter"
from the elm distribution to filter your mail.  The only thing that
you have to be concerned with is that elm/filter stores incoming mail
in a $HOME/Mail directory as the default while pine use $HOME/mail.

	Another alternative would be to use procmail.

	Someone had recently posted the location of the filter-FAQ...if
you using the newsgroups to access this you can check the archives.

	Regards,

		Ed

You can use ELM's "filter" to filter your mail as mail readers are
independent of the filter you use.  For more info please read this page:

    If you are using Unix Pine, you can use procmail or filter to prefile 
incoming messages into folders which Pine can then read.  Nancy McGough 
has a lot of good material on this.  If you have a Web browser, look at 
my home page and follow the link to Nancy's pages.  (You will have to 
follow down several links to get to the material on mail filtering.)
