Subject: Creating killfiles

I've looked all over the FAQ and I still can't find information about 
creating a killfile in pine.  Is the option even available?  I'd rather 
not switch to another newsreader...

    You are correct: procmail plus Pine will not implement a killfile
for newsgroup articles.  I overlooked the distinction in my original
response.
