Subject: Killfiles?

Hello.  I am using version 3.92 of Pine for Unix systems, and
	I would like to inquire whether there is a killfile feature
	which I might've overlooked.

	I would appreciate any assistance this newsgroup could provide.

	Mike

    Sorry (for a lot of us), but Pine does not implement killfiles. 
For incoming mail, you can use some other program which processes the
mail before Pine opens it.  On Unix systems, procmail and filter are
two often used programs.  For newsgroups, we're just out of luck, as
far as I know.
