    Yes.  Make sure you have aggregate-command-set (whatever it's
called) enabled in your configuration (from the Main menu, take Setup
and Config).  Then just enter the sequence of commands from the Index
listing of the newsgroup:

        ; A A D X

(select, all, apply, delete, exclude/expunge).

And you don't really need to do the `X'.  If you just do:

  ; A A D

The messages will be excluded/expunged once you exit pine.

Good luck,
