Subject: Redirect, killfile, auto messages, etc.

I was wondering how you do several different things in Pine 3.91 & 3.92

	First, how do you redirect mail that was sent to you by accident?  What is 
the command?

	Second, what is the file or command to set up a auto-reply to incomming 
message?

	Third, how do you set up a kill file so that pine auto deletes any messages 
from a particular person or newsgroup?

Then you press B in the INDEX, on top of the message you wish to bounce.

Not exactly a pine matter, but vacation could be a good start..
"man vacation" .

Pine doesn't support killfiles (atleast according to my info).

I certainly hope this is an entry in the FAQ - as a fairly new reader of this
newsgroup, I've already seen it lots of times.

'man forward' and 'man vacation' are two nice ways to get more information.
PINE is a mail reader/sender, no multi purpose mail tool for whatever we
can think of that has with mail to do.

Don't you want the auto-reply to work even when you don't run PINE?

Try 'filter' - a very easy little program for filtering incoming mails
and act according to the contents of the mails (like executing commands,
storing in different folders, etc).

'procmail' is another frequently used program (although a bit more
complicated).

For newsgroups, there's no solution atm.

No man page doesn't necessarily mean no program.  
Usually you can type 

  which procmail

to find out what directory it's in.  Other
ways to find procmail on your system are
described in my Filtering Mail FAQ, which
is accessible through:

  http://www.jazzie.com/ii/faqs/archive/mail/filtering-faq/

If it's not installed on your system, ask your
sys admin to install it.  If they won't, get
a new ISP - I'm starting a list of "Mega Megabyte
ISPs" at:

  http://www.jazzie.com/ii/internet/isp/

I'm including info about whether IMAP and procmail
are install.  Additions are welcome!

Thanks,
Nancy
