Subject: Auto move emails

From: Kevin Fletcher <[email-masked]>

How can I make emails with a certain subject, for example: form*
so I can have all email with the subject: form*  automatically put into a
certain folder. I know procmail does this, but it doesn't seem to work
that great. Does anyone know how to do this? I am pretty sure Pine can do
this..

Thanks,

Kevin

According to the many documents and faqs about pine, pine does not do
filtering. Procmail works fantastically when properly set up.

Yep, procmail doesn't work.
That's why everybody uses it.

Shouldn't your question have been something along the lines of:

"I don't know how to use procmail (or regex's), can somebody help me
off-line, and educate me???  I've read some web pages on this topic, but
still have some questions."

If so, I'd be more than willing to help you.

I use Filter to filter out my mail and I use pine so they are right Pine
will not do it by its self but you can use procmail or filter to do it.

Here is a webpage that might help..

I use procmail myself.. 
i did use elm's filering for a while, but i found that to be inadequate
for most things (could only do simple from's, to's and subjects) whereas
procmail can filter based on info in the email header and body as well..

Regards, Jim.
