Subject: Filter question

Hiya, there've been a few notes about filter passed through here -- in
reference to kill files mostly, I'm just wondering what I have to do to
get filter to work on the mail I read with pine.

My mail is collected via a POPCLIENT script, from my ISP.

Anyone who knows how to set filter up (ie setup a rule to delete certain
messages), please get in touch :-)

Regards,

"| /usr/local/bin/filter"

05:47pm dogbert mooney$grep delete .elm/filter-rules 
if [ subject contains " purged " ] then delete

Note that filter knows about other headers besides subject -- "to" and "from"
are two other commonly searched headers.
