Yes, the famous Unix (or any system running sendmail, really) .foward 
file will do this and more for you.  If, for example, you wanted to run a 
program that pages you whenever you receive, mail, you can get the 
.forward file to do this for you as well. 

Unfortunately, I forget the syntax used in the .forward file for more 
complex actions, and I cannot find this info with a couple hours 
searching for it.  I will go to further lengths perhaps and post back 
what I find.  However, I would suggest that this is not a Pine problem, 
and that another comp.mail.* newsgroup is more appropriate.

try

"|command"

as a .forward file. Command should better be the full path of the
command/program/script you want to execute. Now you need some script
that extracts the information from the incoming mail and accesses the
site via a http connection, freeding it with the relevant information in
a format it expects.
