List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi: To add to Amanda's comments. To begin with, it's Setup>Rules>Filters. Using the "To" field as a filter is not a particularly good idea, as it won't catch Cc's. The best thing to use if you can is Sender, or you can use Reply-to or something else in the all-ttext portion of the rule. The idea is to use something that the mailing list software inserts into the message that would not be there for other messages, including messages on other lists that are also sent to speakup, for example. Here's my rule for the speakup list: Nickname: speakup Folder type: specific Folder name: inbox Sender pattern: speakup-admin@braille.uwo.ca Filter action: move Destination folder: incoming/speakup The rest are as per defaults. Note that before you do this, you might want to set up incoming folders if you want to be able to tab to these as incoming folders. Go into the setup>configuration screen and activate the enable incoming folders option. Then when you do the filtering rule, pine will ask you if you want to add the filter folder, which it will presumably have to create for you, to your incoming folders collection. This makes life much easier as you then don't have to do it yourself. A couple of bugs as of pine 4.43 (there may be newer versions out now): 1. When messages are filtered from inbox, they aren't actually removed from your inbox until it is rewritten through an expunge or something. This means that if you have to shutdown without exiting pine normally, the messages to be filtered will get filtered again. I must write to the pine folks about this - it's been there for awhile now. 2. As of pine 4.41, the tabbing to incoming folders to read new messages doesn't seem to be working. This is a great source of annoyance in our house. Geoff.
