Re: Filtering Email in Pine



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Most Unix mailers don't do filtering themselves.  Instead you should use
procmail.  It's an incredibly flexible filtering program.  Here's the
procmail recipe I use for this list:
:0:
* ^TO_*debian-user@lists.debian.org
./mail/archive/debian-user

This redirects mail to debian-user to mail/archive/debian-user in my home
directory.

You'll need to create a .forward file to have all your mail piped through
procmail.  It should look more or less like:
"|/usr/bin/procmail"

(the quotes ARE part of the .forward contents)

Then you'll need to configure pine to use incoming message folders (I
think the option is "enable-incoming-folders" or something).

And don't listen to those folks who'll tell you to use Mutt.  It's got an
awful interface and an even worse configuration mechanism...

noah  --looking forward to yet another Pine vs. Mutt flamewar
