Re: Filtering Email in Pine
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Well, I've attached the feature-list I have included in my site's /etc/pine.conf. The feature list is where most stuff is enabled. Other stuff is pretty site-specific. Maybe we could offer a pine.conf that has color turned on or something? I haven't played with that at all, but I've seen it used and it could be worth looking at. On Fri, 30 Jun 2000, Jaldhar H.

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.

Maybe it'd be a good idea for our unofficial Pine maintainer to create a better default pine.conf. First act for any (advanced) pine user should be to go into the config and turn on just about every enable-*-command flag. It's been a long time since I used pine (these days I have a graphical workstation ;) - plus I try to keep my vrms output as small as possible) but you should certainly turn on everything interesting-looking in the config before you start :) Stuart.

To be able to select messages and perform commands on them choose the enable-aggregate-command-set option in the config section.

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: * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./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 On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, adam.edgar wrote: The Unix machine I get my mail on has only a few mail clients to choose from and Ive chosen pine for my use.

Re: Filtering Email in Pine
Since procmail isn't a part of mutt, I presume he can do just as well with procmail and pine?
