You can use an additional "mail agent" such as "procmail" or "mailagent"
to add this sort of functionality to just about any mailer, such as PINE
that doesn't come with a filter of its own. Later versions of PINE allow
for multiple inboxes and as such fit in with using "procmail" et al quite
nicely... Both "procmail" and "mailagent" are freely available by FTP...
