    Pine does not have killfile capability.  For incoming email (at
least on Un*x systems), you can set up a mail filtering program such as
procmail or (Elm) filter to preprocess (and discard, if you want) mail
messages.  For newsgroups, I have never heard of anything that works
with Pine.

1.  No versions of Pine yet support killfiles.

2.  The current version of Pine is 3.93; you should look at upgrading to
    that or the nearing Pine 3.94 in order to take advantage of bug fixes
    and many improvements.

Cheers,
