I know this has been discussed before, but I suck and didn't save the
info. I tried searching the archived message database, but I only came up
with one of robin's .sigs. And Robin's page is down.

So I ask the stupid, FAQ which is not in the FAQ

Are we getting killfiles? Do we already have killfiles (I was told by
someone that pine does, but having read through the helpfiles and the man
page more times than I want to know, I'm sure I would have noticed) and we
just don't know it? When?

Excuse me. Self flagellation is not permitted on this list. Please wait to
receive abuse through normal channels.

No.

There is an FAQ describing how to use the killfile features of rn-style
newsreaders (trn, slrn, etc.) in batch-processing mode. This'll mark messages
accordingly in your .newsrc. Then, you can read news with pine.

It's posted to news.software.readers. Or get it from http://www.faq.org/ or ftp
it from rtfm.mit.edu.
