Subject: ?: Kill file for PINE 3.95

I am using PINE 3.95 on a university system (unix-based) for mail and
newsgroup reading. I am satisfied with its performance for both functions
but would love to have a kill file for some of the trash in the 
newsgroups I read.

Is there a way to create a kill file for PINE and how? 

I sure appreciate any help.

    No.  At present, Pine does not support killfiles.  I have heard
a rumor that some day, in the great somewhen, a future release of Pine
may support killfiles, but we'll just have to wait.

    In the meantime, if you are on a Un*x system that has trn
installed, there is a way you can sort of kludge together a killfille
mechanism.  It ain't pretty, but it sort of works.  Email me for
details.
