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
