Use the semicolon (;) to mark messages. Hitting ; willl bring up a list
of selection criteria to use in marking the messages. You can select by
numbers, dates, text matching, status, etc. You'll notice an 'X' in the
leftmost column of the index screen next to each of the items that
matched. Then hit the 'a' key to perform as action such as delete, reply,
pipe, etc.
There might be a special config option you need in order to turn this
feature on. If it doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll check my
config for a special setting. IMO the biggest problem with pine is that
UW wants it to be really dumbed down for the novice users so they turn
most features off by default. Maybe it'd be a good idea for our
unofficial Pine maintainer to create a better default pine.conf.
HTH,
