Sorry if this is a stupid question...but is there any way to set up a 
PINE killfile?

Cheers,
Simon

Pine 3.91 does not support kill files.

    No.  In its current version (3.91), Pine merely acts to let you
read mail that has already been delivered.  You need a utility which
will act on (e.g., kill) incoming mail before Pine gets hold of it.  On
Unix systems, two common such programs for filtering mail are procmail
and filter.  You can get information on (Unix) mail filtering from
Nancy McGough's Web pages, which you can get to from my home page. 
(You have to thread your way several levels deep.)
