Subject: Filtering incoming mail

From: [email-masked]

I would like to filter my incoming mail by subject, so the mail is 
received in unique folders.  Example:

INBOX
JOE
MARTHA

So, if a subject line were JOE or MARTHA, the mail would automatically go 
to those folders instead of INBOX.

Can anybody e-mail me some help on this?

Thanks,

Mark

    This is commonly done, although unfortunately you did not supply
quite enough information, namely, what operating system are you using
Pine under?

    Pine by itself will not filter mail into different incoming folders
the way you want.  However, if you are using Pine on some sort of Un*x
system, both filter and procmail will do what you want.

    If you have a world Wide Web browser, browse my home page and
follow the link to Nancy McGough's pages.  A couple of links in, she
has an abundance of information on mail filtering.
