I use pine to read all of the mail from this mailing list and the freebsd-ipfw list. Many messages come in and I have not filtered them to another folder. They all go to the Inbox. Does someone have a better way to do this? I do not want to use a pop3 client since I want to access the mail from a telnet window where I can access it from anywhere. But sometimes I get mail that mixes into rest of the list emails and I may not read it and must pass over it as I do not follow each thread. Once nice feature in Netscape mail is that if I do filter mail into a folder, it marks that folder so I know new messages were recently deposited there. Can I do this with procmail and pine so that I can organize my mail and know where I am getting new mail? Is there an existing system? If I cannot find one, I may just create one. I currently use mail.filter (mailfilter) which does not have a feature which will drop mail to a folder based on filter rules. I may add the functionality. Then there is a matter of reporting where the mail goes. (This is email is also going to the author of mailfilter) I can have it update a log which can be used to generate a report with a simple script. It can tell me what filters were used since I last logged in and tell me where mail was routed so I know to check the freebsd-questions folder, for example. I could run that script from the .profile config file. Anyone have any ideas on this? Does pine support a feature like that and I am not aware of it? If I can get this working, I could join many more lists since it would help me keep them organized.
