Yes, but this wasn't the actual intended way, and does have
disadvantages AFAIK.

In your .pinerc configure / add something like this:

# Add these customized headers (and possible default values) when

I hope this is still right, as I haven't used pine in ages now. This was

Procmail and fetchmail is what I think most users use. By setting up a
~/.fetchmailrc and running the fetchmail daemon it'll download you mail,
sending it via procmail which will then do the filtering for you. There
are many man pages / sites to help on this.

Good luck!
