    You didn't find any instructions within Pine because Pine can't do
it.  You have to use some program which processes the incoming mail
into separate folders *before* Pine looks at it.  You did not indicate
what operating system you are using Pine under.  On Unix systems,
procmail and filter are probably the two most common preprocessing
programs.  If you have a WWW browser, you can start at my home page and
go to Nancy McGough's pages, where she has a lot of useful information
on mail filtering (among other things).
