I only use Pine when my ISP makes me (on campus, it's their baby), and they haven't got procmail running yet on the server that allows imap/pop, so I don't sort mail in Pine, but my isp has this brief introduction which might be of some help to you. http://www.washington.edu/computing/faqs/plaintext/filter.intro Another, much better, reference can be found at: http://acsweb.ucis.dal.ca/fsg/notes/procmail.html I use fetchmail and procmail to get mail off the imap/pop server and sort it into my user's ~/Mail/*/ folders, then I read it with exmh (or mutt).
