You would use procmail to automatically sort your mail as you direct by the rules you supply in procmail "recipie"
files, as they're called in procmail. It's a very powerful agent and works perfectly well, in my experience. In fact,
procmail is the program that actually delivers mail on Red Hat systems by default. In other words, sendmail is used to
send outbound mail, and fetchmail to retrieve mail, and procmail to deliver it to users on the local system.
Pine is a very capable program, and supports things like hyperlinks and opening mime types like .wav files, if you have
the correct mailcap entries. However, it requires too many keystrokes, for my taste, for the task of deleting message
threads. Consequently, I have recently been using mutt, where this can be done with just two keystrokes.
